It depends on how you've installed it. Via package manager? compiled on your own (how?)? Just extracted an archiv?

I downloaded it from git-hub and extracted it. Then i installed it using
sudo perl install.pl.Hello nivya.james2016 ,
it is obviously to late, but: Never ever use
sudoto install a program in linux, except for the package manager of your distribution. The package manager is the only one who know which files belong to which program and is able to remove all these files without violate any dependencies. Furthermore of you bypass the package manager for a system wide installation, you may get problems when installing a package via package manager later. Because than it will find files that do not belong to any package and will not know how to handle it.In summary: Unfortunately A cannot help you on how you can uninstall mirdeep2 in your case.
For the future I recommend having a look at bioconda for easily installing and removing of bioinformatic tools. As an introduction on how to use it, you can have a look at the first part of a tutorial I've written some time ago.

thank you so much for your help. I shall do this in future.
I know next to nothing about Perl, and what little I do is based around using
perlbrewandcpanm(absolutely the best way to install perl stuff if you have the option), however a few seconds on google threw this up:https://www.perl.com/article/3/2013/3/27/How-to-cleanly-uninstall-a-Perl-module/
Thank you so much jrj.healey for your help. I am trying the methods. Kindly help me again if i am not able to execute.
Hi jrj.healey,
I checked the link and was trying to do as per the instructions but came up with an error
Could you tell me whats wrong? Thank you in advance
Are you sure the module is called exactly
mirdeep2-masterand not something else? How would you normally import it in Perl?At a guess, it sounds like it hasn’t found a matching model for that particular syntax of the module name (or it isn’t actually installed after all)
