How to uninstall Bitcoind from ubuntu server?

I installed bitcoind on my ubuntu server awhile ago. How do I go about uninstalling it properly? Do i just delete the ~/.bitcoin folder?

If you installed with a deb package, you can use apt-get to remove it:

sudo apt-get remove bitcoind

That will remove your wallet.dat, bitcoin.conf and all the blockchain info, but you will also want to remove the bitcoin directory which was also downloaded and if you added bitcoind to your path you'l want to remove that as well.
