really all you have to do is systemctl disable --now the service and rm the folder that portmaster was installed to.

the only files that are created outside of the portmaster folder are a symlink to the service at

"${systemd_dir}/portmaster.service" 

and

/etc/profile.d/zzz-portmaster-to-xdg-data-dirs.sh

which is for adding the exports folder to your path
https://wiki.safing.io/en/Portmaster/Install/Linux#manual-installation-script

so assuming the paths in the script were left at default this is how i would uninstall everyting

systemctl disable --now portmaster.service
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/portmaster
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/portmaster.service
sudo rm /etc/profile.d/zzz-portmaster-to-xdg-data-dirs.sh

I just updated using Zany130's script and it seems peachy so far (although there was one issue) I wrote an upgrade install guide here.
