How to completely remove serviio - Linux Mint KDE 13

Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't like serviio but I do need to be able to uninstall it from linux.
I've tried synaptic...... no joy

When I use the command line I get

$ sudo apt-get remove serviio
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package serviio

Any thoughts would be appreciated. :?

I think there is no package!, How did you install it?, undo steps.

Basic steps example:
- stop serviio
- remove directories where you installed it (location)
- If you set-up daemons to start automatically, remove them (*)
- That's all!

(*): You need to know what you did ot look for it (system V init, Upstart, Startup Application, etc.).

- If you used init.d (will assume you named "serviiod"):
  Code:
update-rc.d -f serviiod remove
rm /etc/init.d/serviiod /etc/default/serviio


- If you used Upstart (will assume you named "serviio"):
  Code:
rm /etc/init/serviio.*


- If you used Startup Application manager: Look for it at Init/Startup Applications

- etc..


Note: I think, cause your question, you didn't installed UpStart or System V to start it automattically. So you only need to remove the directory you created.
