As root write:
apt-get remove blobwars
to command line.

Could you post a screenshot or full paste of the output, apt-get shouldn't say no such file or directory in any case as far as I know. Also first check you didn't make any typos.

Try running
Code:
mkdir /home/user/.parallelrealities
as normal user (not root) first and then as root run
Code:
apt-get remove blobwars
That should work.
