        1. Try installing the Suricata package again.
        2. Be sure to let the installation fully complete.
        3. Remove the package by clicking the trashcan icon next to Suricata in the Package Manager.
        4. Be sure to let the uninstall process complete before clicking away from the page.

        My suspicion is either you did not stay on the uninstall page long enough for the uninstall process to complete (if you click away, the process can fail to complete leaving remnants of Suricata behind). Another possibility is that you performed a config backup restore from a time when Suricata was installed. If you restore packages in that scenario, the config.xml portions of Suricata will get restored but the actual binary pieces will be missing.

        If you want to permanently remove Suricata and all of its settings from the firewall configuration, go to the GLOBAL SETTINGS tab before uninstalling the package and uncheck the option to retain Suricata settings during uninstall.
