Hm, I'm guessing that you want this because you install sn in
/usr/local/(s)bin together with all other programs. If that is the case, you
should read this article: http://www.nickus.net/install.html

If you follow those principles when installing software, removing it
is simple: just "rm -rf" the program's directory under /usr/local, and then
clean out the symlinks from bin, man, etc.

(Easily done with the "symlinks" program. If your distro doesn't have it,
it's available on ibiblio: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/)

HTH,
