How to Uninstall

Perhaps its because I am a new, but how can I uninstall this after it has been made and installed?

Depends on how you made and installed it. If you just did make && sudo make install then you'll need to manually delete everything it installed.

AFAIK, this includes: /usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer (file) /usr/local/lib/mjpg-streamer (folder) and /usr/local/share/mjpg-streamer (folder)

There may be other folders / files but these are the only ones I see on my system. Also, it is possible you may have different directories depending on your system (e.g., /usr/bin/ or /bin/ instead of /usr/local/bin). You can use whatever search utility you wish to simply find everything including mjpg in the name.

Preferably, you would install this using the package manager for your system - which will keep track of all of this for you - instead of installing manually.

If your paths are the same as mine, you can simply run: sudo rm /usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer && sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/mjpg-streamer && sudo rm -r /usr/local/share/mjpg-streamer
