How to uninstall googletest

[ljm0451]

Thanks advance
There is no "make uninstall"

Uninstall just googletest

sudo apt-get remove googletest
Which will remove just the googletest package itself.

Uninstall googletest and its dependencies

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove googletest
This will remove the googletest package and any other dependant packages which are no longer needed.

Purging your config/data too

If you also want to delete your local/config files for googletest then this will work.
Caution! Purged config/data can not be restored by reinstalling the package.

sudo apt-get purge googletest
Or similarly, like this googletest
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove googletes

$sudo apt-get remove googletest
[sudo] password for akash:

It shows googletest is not installed. Any other way ?

As of now, i guess "make uninstall" is not yet available. Find install_manifest.txt file present inside build directory,
The install_manifest.txt lists all the files that were installed. You can manually remove each of these files using the paths listed.
I created a script file to read the install_manifest and removes the files which were uninstalled.

#!/bin/bash
while IFS= read -r file
do
  echo "Removing $file"
  sudo rm -f "$file"
done < install_manifest.txt

After this, i removed the GTest directory manually from /usr/local/lib/cmake

sudo rm -rf GTest

Then from /usr/local/include

sudo rm -rf gmock/ gtest/

This succesfully removed gtest and gmock from my ubuntu machine. Hope the devs add the option for removing the libs from CMakefile :)
