Have you tried running make uninstall from the build directory? Also, unless you were doing development work, I don't see why you installed from source. There's a flatpak available and a .deb in the repos.

I actually just tried sudo make uninstall and got make: *** No rule to make target 'uninstall'. Stop
As for the second question, the reason I came to when I installed barrier from snap and it would connect but the cursor never moved over was, does master branch fix this?

What snap did you install? I'm currently going through the process of reclaiming the name barrier on the snap store.

@jaroslawjanas Did you install to /usr/local?

I did everything you guys mentioned.
But the thing that worked from me was:

  • install it again from the ubuntu software application rather than compiling it yourself
  • and then uninstall it from there

It removed pretty much everything.
