How to uninstall Burp Suite Professional from Ubuntu

Method 1: Uninstall using the terminal (if installed using the .sh installer):

  1. Open the terminal.
  2. Navigate to the Burp Suite installation directory. By default, it is usually installed in /opt/BurpSuitePro or /home/yourusername/BurpSuitePro, depending on where you installed it. You can navigate to it using:
   cd /path/to/BurpSuitePro
  1. Run the uninstaller script. If the Burp Suite installation includes an uninstaller script, run it using:
   ./uninstall
  1. If the uninstaller script is not available, simply delete the entire Burp Suite installation directory:
   sudo rm -rf /path/to/BurpSuitePro

Method 2: If installed via Snap or APT (less common):

  1. For Snap:

If you installed Burp Suite Professional using Snap, remove it by running:

   sudo snap remove burpsuite
  1. For APT:

If you used APT to install Burp Suite (which is unlikely for the professional edition), remove it using:

   sudo apt remove burpsuite

Method 3: Uninstall if you used a .deb package:

  1. Check installed packages:

If you installed Burp Suite via a .deb package, list installed packages using:

   dpkg --list | grep burpsuite
  1. Uninstall the package:

Run the following command to uninstall it:

   sudo apt remove burpsuite

Method 4: Remove desktop entry and configurations:

If you created a desktop entry or configuration files for Burp Suite, remove them:

rm ~/.local/share/applications/burpsuite.desktop
rm -rf ~/.BurpSuite

After following the appropriate method, Burp Suite Professional will be uninstalled from your Ubuntu system.
