How to uninstall an item that was installed with swinstall

I have inadvertenly installed a 32 bit version of a ready prepared lsof11.11.depot file with swinstall

I now want to uninstall it, so
I can keep things tidy (meaning it won't show up with swlist -l product )

I do not find an uninstall option anywhere
on the swinstall tool.
I guess there must be some way :)

Tx


How do I do it ?

# swremove lsof should remove the depot

Hi Frank,

The opposite of swinstall is swremove

swremove
=> Select the item
=> Menu Actions / Remove

Also, You can use sam to uninstall a software.
# sam --> Software Management --> Remove Depot Software
