To uninstall NetBeans 8.1 in Ubuntu 16.04:
sudo sh /usr/local/netbeans-8.1/uninstall.sh

NetBeans 8.1 can be installed in Ubuntu 16.04 from the default Ubuntu repositories. NetBeans 8 targets Java 8 as its compatible Java version. To reinstall NetBeans 8.1 in Ubuntu 16.04, Java 8 (openjdk-8-jdk) from the default Ubuntu repositories should be the version of Java referenced by java -version and run this command:
sudo apt install netbeans
