John,

   Delete with confidence.

   You can use 'ls /var/log/packages | <application>' to see what's
installed, and 'which <application>' will return the directory (usually
/usr/bin/) where the executable is located.

   When you build from slackbuilds.org scripts <http://www.slackbuilds.org/)
you can use 'installpkg /tmp/<package_name>' or 'upgradepkg
/tmp<package_name>' as appropriate.
