I installed an application from GitHub, namely https://github.com/wavexx/screenkey. I installed it with

sudo ./setup.py install

Now I want to remove it.

What I tried so far:

sudo apt-get remove screenkey

Also

locate screenkey

and then

rm -r [the file I found]

According to this Stack Overflow question you can record python script installed files by sudo python setup.py --record ~/Desktop/installed_files, if you have python-distutils-extra installed. So do:

sudo apt-get install python-distutils-extra
sudo python setup.py --record ~/Desktop/installed_files
xargs -a ~/Desktop/installed_files.txt rm -rvf
