Cannot remove package touchegg

I would like to remove touchegg with

sudo apt-get purge touchegg

but the output says that nothing was uninstalled. When I check

dpkg -l

touchegg is not listed among the packages so so far so good. But strangely when I call touchegg from the terminal it still runs.

Remember to reboot your computer after removal, the program could still be in memory. Then use:

sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

And

sudo updatedb

If this dont work, It could be possible that your program "touchegg" is in the /usr/bin , /bin folder or another included in the PATH. Try, after doing the above commands, to use:

locate touchegg

It will tell you where the program, or related files containing the same name are located.
