How did you install it? What guide did you follow? – dadexix86 Mar 2 '12 at 16:56

@dadexix86 I installed it through the installer program from the adobe's website. – sawa Mar 2 '12 at 17:30
There is an UNINSTALL script in the same folder where you installed it.
$ locate UNINSTALL
/usr/local/Adobe/Reader9/bin/UNINSTALL
$ cd /usr/local/Adobe/Reader9/bin
$ sudo ./UNINSTALL
Done!

1I also had to remove an icon of Adobe Reader from the list of applications in GNOME. The icon was in
~/.local/share/applications/. It might also be in/usr/share/applications/– Maksim Dmitriev Oct 3 '14 at 17:06 -
Or if that still doesn't work and returns Package acroread is not installed, so not removed you can try sudo apt-get purge adobereader-enu && sudo apt-get autoremove.

If you have installed it manually, then you have can run
locate adobereader
Then remove it from there and delete the folder.
sudo apt-get remove acroread
or if you have Synaptic installed you can use that as well.
It should also show up in Software Center if your search for it, but I'm not well-versed in Software Center.
sudo rm -Rf /opt/Adobe
Ubuntu 18.04
Try this command, it worked for me.
