The answer by user Dung works as well on ubuntu 16/18. you may as well do:
find / -name "*tomcat*" | xargs rm -f
To delete the files without having to do it manually, make sure you are not on root on the first try. You may end up deleting something else. Maybe after checking what couldn't be deleted (root stuff), you may then do it on root or delete the files manually.
