All I did to 'uninstall' it was to delete everything which had a RealPlayer string in the name (I think) there were quite a lot and it was a bit tedious because I had to first do a search, then systematically delete the various files. It was tedious for me because I am inexperienced and not confident with deleting using sudo and wildcards! So I did it a few files at a time. I even deleted any graphic which had been introduced (real logo etc etc) Anyway it did work ok! :-) If you do an initial 'Find files' looking for say. 'real' then decide what to then search for - iirc it was realplayer, not at all sure. It was that experience which party decided me to only use things I could install via synaptic, and further, to stay with mplayer (FOSS) even though the functions and gui is not as good.
