    Hello,
    I want to uninstall ffmpeg and its dependencies from my server...I am trying to uninstall it with 'make uninstall' command at ffmpeg folder. It returns following erros.

    Code:
    root@hau [/usr/src/install/ffmpeg]# make uninstall
    rmdir "/usr/local/include"
    rmdir: /usr/local/include: Directory not empty
    make: [uninstall-headers] Error 1 (ignored)
    rmdir "/usr/local/include"
    rmdir: /usr/local/include: Directory not empty
    make: [uninstall-headers] Error 1 (ignored)
    rmdir "/usr/local/include"
    rmdir: /usr/local/include: Directory not empty
    make: [uninstall-headers] Error 1 (ignored)
    rmdir "/usr/local/include"
    rmdir: /usr/local/include: Directory not empty
    make: [uninstall-headers] Error 1 (ignored)
    rmdir "/usr/local/include"
    rmdir: /usr/local/include: Directory not empty
    make: [uninstall-headers] Error 1 (ignored)
    rmdir "/usr/local/include"
    rmdir: /usr/local/include: Directory not empty
    make: [uninstall-headers] Error 1 (ignored)
    rmdir "/usr/local/include"
    rmdir: /usr/local/include: Directory not empty
    make: [uninstall-headers] Error 1 (ignored)
    rmdir "/usr/local/include"
    rmdir: /usr/local/include: Directory not empty
    make: [uninstall-headers] Error 1 (ignored)


    What does it mean ?

    Moving you to our linux section. ffmpegX is not ffmpeg.

    It can't remove the include folder because it's not empty...probably some non ffmpeg folders/files.

    Yes you are right....There are non ffmpeg files in include folder....But I wonder why FFMpeg 'make uninstall' is trying to remove that include folder ? Does it means that include folder is being created after FFMpeg installation as part of FFMpeg resources files..?

    Unistalling this program should not be this difficult.

    I can't even get anything ffmpegx related off of my app dock (intel i3).

    I just have to stare at ffmpegx stuff on my homescreen forever now? So Lame.

  5. it was a while ago...I might be wrong, nothing wrong in helping you out, still you can try if you are on debian based server, you can try something like,
    apt-get --purge remove package-name
    apt-get autoremove
    apt-get clean
    -or-
    aptitude purge package-name
    apt-get autoremove
    apt-get clean
    -or-
    dpkg -r package-name

    The first two should remove it completely including all dependencies.

    He's not on a Linux system. He's trying to remove/uninstall ffmpegx, a Mac OS X app - so technically, it doesn't belong in a Linux topic.

  7. on MAC OSX he can simply drag-n-drop into trash-bin and empty it manually, and drop the icon off the dock, if any or he can use finder. No more hurdles.

    Yes, but apparently, he's having difficulty getting it done the normal way (it looks like he probably tried to trash it while it was still running, as Case notes). See https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/125409-How-to-uninstall-ffmpegx?p=2254378#post2254378.

  9. it is always safe to check activity monitor before removing.
