Actually peda-gdb doesn't really install any executable in your computer.

All the peda-gdb does is to modify the config file of gdb. This file is by default located at ~/.gdbinit.

  • use cat ~/.gdbinit can you peek how does peda do

  • Therefore, to go back to vanilla gdb, there are 2 solutions

    1. gdb --nx

      • This is a better way, since you may need peda someday

    2. rm -rf ~/.gdbinit

      • This will remove the config file of gdb, so what peda did will have no effect on your gdb now.

You can remove the Peda folder, should be somewhere in your Home directory. After that you should have your old gdb back.
