[GNC] Uninstall GC

[Dennis Powless]

dennis at dennisLaptop1:~$ locate cmake_uninstall.cmake
/home/dennis/.local/share/Trash/files/gnucash-maint/cmake/
cmake_uninstall.cmake.in
/home/dennis/Applications/cmake_uninstall.cmake
/home/dennis/Applications/gnucash-3.1/cmake/cmake_uninstall.cmake.in

Can I then run the cmake uninstall from this location?
