[I figured it out] How do I uninstall an AUR?

I installed a package, but I have no idea how to uninstall the package, pacman won't do it and I didn't install it with any aur helper things.

With pacman, what does "pacman won't do it" mean exactly? Which particular package are you talking about? Which error messages do you see? Read: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Should be as simple as

pacman -R $pkgname

Oh my god I am literally the biggest idiot ever. I'm sorry guys, I install webex for school but I realized it didn't do anything. When I wanted to open it, I would have to type webex in dmenu but I forgot the actual package name is webex-bin. I'm very sorry.
