Drag the VLC application to your trash can. You can also remove the configuration file and the cache files in ~/Library/Preferences/VLC/. There is an AppleScript on the disk-image which lets you do this automatically.

BeOS

Delete the vlc-version directory. You can also remove the configuration file /boot/home/config/settings/vlcrc.

Debian GNU/Linux

Remove the packages that you installed:

# apt-get remove --purge vlc libdvdcss2

GNU/Linux Redhat, Mandrake and SuSE

Uninstall the RPM packages that you installed:

# rpm -e vlc-version vlc-mad-version wxvlc-version libdvdcss2-version libdvdpsi1-version

If you compiled VLC from sources

Go to the directory containing VLC sources and execute

# make uninstall

You can then remove the VLC sources.
