I downloaded and installed a weather plugin for my appletv from http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Plugins and I don't really like it. I followed the general directions from engadget to get the plugin installed using the terminal, but I'm not familiar enough with terminal to delete the file. If someone could please help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Deleting a plugin I installed on AppleTV

Don't know if i'm going to be much help as i haven't modded my
tv yet(i'll enjoy it the way it is for now). But, I think the easiest way is to reinstall the copy/image you made of the original factory install(you did make one right, I hope).
type:
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns
Locate the plugin file/directory you copied there:
ls -l
Make note of the exact file/directory's name.
Type(if it's a file):
rm (filename)
If it's a directory:
rmdir (directory name)
That should do it. You'll then want to restart finder:
kill `ps ax|grep [F]inder|cut -b 2-5`
If that doesn't work, You'll have to restore the factory image, as i.Feature suggested.

Did this work for anyone? I don't own an AppleTV, so I can't test it, but those are the commands to do it.
