I recently installed this drawing program from its homepage (https://www.edrawsoft.com/download-edrawmax-linux.php here is the link). Now I no longer want it on my computer, but the application does not appear listed when I look for it using the dpkg --list command on the terminal; therefore, when I try to remove it using apt-get, it just says that it can't locate the package (I type sudo apt-get remove edrawmax, because edrawmax is the command with which you execute the program from the terminal, but this is evidently not the correct thing to do). I found where the directory of this application is located (it is located in "/opt"), but I do not dare to just delete all the files. What should i do?

After the installation, the program is installed on /otp/EdrawMax-9-64 (depends of program version - in this case v9 64bit) The "Official program uninstallation" is actualy deleting of the folders:

Deleting the Main Program:

rm -rf /opt/EdrawMax-9-64/

Deleting the rest of the program (icons, Launcher, etc.)

rm -f /usr/share/icons/edrawmax.png
rm -f /usr/share/applications/edrawmax.desktop
rm -f /usr/share/mime/packages/edrawmax.xml
rm -f /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes/eddx.svg
rm -f /usr/local/bin/edrawmax

Edit: Deleting files from home dir

sudo rm -r $HOME/Edraw
