I have recently downloaded Adobe Reader for Linux from their website and run it using dpkg -i ...... I actually downloaded i386 version and my laptop is 64-bit. It then gave an error as:

package management system damaged.

I searched on this website and fixed it using sudo apt-get -f install. Then the Adobe Reader got installed. But now I want to uninstall it.

I tried running:

sudo apt-get remove adobereader-enu
sudo apt-get autoremove adobereader-enu

But it was of no use.

I went to the home folder and removed .adobe folder (this was hidden). But still it didn't get uninstalled.

I manually tried to remove the .config files of adobe, even then it was not uninstalled.

How can I get rid it?

(This topic is similar to other threads, but I tried the methods given in those threads, but I couldn't uninstall the Reader).

You should also be able to remove it from Synaptics Package Manager. Type "adobe reader" in the search; then right click "Mark for removal" then "Apply". Otherwise it should be easily located with Origin -> Local.
Best,
