How to uninstall opera in linux installed using bz2 package?

Hello All
I installed opera-10.10-4742.gcc4-shared-qt3.i386 by downloading the bz2 file on a fresh install of fedora 12 by running the install.sh file as root.
The install was successful it said but whenever I tried to run opera I encountered errors regarding preloading & missing shared objects.

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
/usr/lib/opera/10.10/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Now I dont want to fix it I just want to uninstall thisinstallation and install from an rpm so it maybe easier to update too.
Wonder if anyone knows how to uninstall this kind of package.

Do you have Qt 3 installed?

The first two error messages are related to Java and can be ignored (if you don't require Java), the third message says Opera can't find Qt 3.

You ought to be able to force the RPM install - I mean, rpm doesn't know Opera is installed, it just knows that the files exist. You could of course delete the files if there's no convenient way to force the install, since you didn't use your distro's package manager there are no issues otherwise.
