Linux converting from manual installation to PPA woes.

I upgraded from Mint 17.3 to Mint 18, and unfortunately I started
getting segmentation errors with get_iplayer. So I decided to replace
my now broken manual installation with the PPA version. The manual
installation doesn't come with uninstall instructions so I deleted the
executable in /usr/local/bin. However even though 'which get_iplayer'
returns /usr/bin (the location where the PPA version is installed)
when I try to run it, something is still pointing to /usr/local/bin.
Does anyone have any idea how to cleanly uninstall the version I
manually installed?

Incidentally, I tried to post this message in the get_iplayer forum,
but every time I try I get a MyBB error. Someone was having a similar
problem over there.
