How to remove Sublime installed using the website instructions?

Solution 1:

sudo rm -r /opt/Sublime\ Text\ 2
sudo rm /usr/bin/sublime
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/sublime.desktop
sudo sed -i 's/sublime\.desktop/gedit.desktop/g' /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

Solution 2:

Those steps are not wrong, but it would be easier (and sometimes saver as pointed out by your link) to do it using a ppa. So if you still want to remove it then you will have to 'reverse' step 2, 3, 4 and 5 using the following commands.

Step 2 reverse sudo rm -R /opt/Sublime\ Text\ 2

Step 3 reverse sudo rm /usr/bin/sublime

Step 4 reverse sudo rm /usr/share/applications/sublime.desktop

Step 5 reverse sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list and replace all occurrences of sublime.desktop with gedit.desktop
