I wanted get rid of fink completely from my computer so I dragged it all to the trash and deleted. However I then read that you are supposed to enter the command: sudo rm -rf /sw because it isn't an app.
So now I have no idea if fink is actually deleted from my computer. Does anyone know if it is deleted or if there is something else I'm supposed to do, and if so what??

Everything Fink installed should be sandboxed in /sw, so you just have to delete this folder. Whether you do so in the Finder or Terminal doesn't make a difference.
