Default How to uninstall a proggy

How do you uninstall a program in Linux? I am thinking that my XMMS my be 'corupt' or something. I want to completely remove it and start from scratch.

Is this done through commands or is there an application needed?

Thanks!

I am getting the hang of this, theres just little 'quirks' that I come across.
