[SOLVED] How to remove software installed from the internet

I have installed a web browser, SRWare Iron in Zorin and don't like it and wish to uninstall it. However, I can't seem to do it - my software installer does not show this browser, even though it was installed using the software installer. I can't find the terminal in Zorin to try to remove it through that, right clicking does not bring up a remove option.
Does anyone have any ideas?

If you installed the program via software center then it should be there to uninstall.
Other options you have is to uninstall it via the synaptic package manager.
Last but not least, via terminal.
To open terminal press ctrl +alt + T.

Then

sudo apt-get remove -- purge nameofprogram
