It will depend on how you installed it.  If you used RPM or some sort of
package system, you want to remove it within that same system.  There's
probably an rmprm command or somesuch (I'm not using Linux enough yet, so
I'll let someone else tell you that - on Solaris it's pkgrm).

The command "rm -r" removes recursively a directory, all of its contents,
subdirectories and their contents, etc.  So that will work to remove the
directory and everything in it.  This will work on *all* unixes, so far as
I know (and I've used Linux, Solaris, AIX, IRIX and several others).

I'm not familiar and I doubt that it will work.

I would think so!
