Default How to remove a program unknown to 'Add/Remove Software'?
I recently installed RealPlayer following the instructions in
How to install and Configure Real player in OpenSuse | SUSE & openSUSE

The installation failed - aside from not being able to find any icon anywhere to start RealPlayer, other than going to my /opt folder in a file browser - RealPlayer crashed immediately.

I would now like to remove this defective program, but when I use 'Add/Remove Software' it is unable to find any reference to RealPlayer.

How to I remove it, totally and cleanly, rather than just deleting the RealPlayer folder in my /opt folder?
