Default How do I uninstall on Ubuntu?

I downloaded LimeWire for my laptop a few days ago. I saw some posts on Ubuntu Forums about alien packages, and I thought to apply this to the .rpm I downloaded from LimeWire's official web-site.

I have alien, and the command I tried was:

sudo alien -i -s *.rpm

This generated an error, stating that -- single or -- generate couldn't be used with --install. Funny, since noone else complained.

I then tried

sudo alien *.rpm

But didn't get any wiser of anything, so the next two commands were:

sudo alien - s *.rpm
sudo alien - i *.rpm

When checking Programs>Internet I found LimeWire but it won't start. So, how do I uninstall this on Ubuntu when I didn't use Add/Remove Applications, aptitude or Synaptic to install it?

OS: Ubuntu 6.10
CPU: Pentium 366 MHz (You're reading it right)
RAM: 192 MB
HDD: 6.2GB (Still reading it right)
