Hello,

I am looking to uninstall Tiled on my Linux-Mint machine (will reinstall again later ;)).

I followed the README for installation, doing qmake and make install. How should I go about reversing this?

If you compiled/installed Tiled using:

```auto
qmake
make
sudo make install

```

Then you can uninstall Tiled by going into the same directory as from where you ran the above commands and doing:

```auto
sudo make uninstall

```

On Linux Mint the easiest way to install Tiled would be:

```auto
sudo apt-get install tiled

```

I guess the `README.md` is a little misleading for the average user, who is actually not expected to compile Tiled himself. Though of course the `tiled` package is generally not the latest version.
