It may be hidden. If you press CTRL + H to show hidden folders where the .bitcoin should be then that will give you a definite answer if it's there or not. If it's definitely not there then it hasn't been installed correctly or at all for what ever reason. It would be better to remove everything via the terminal that's related to the commands you put in to install it and then reinstall. What user group are you trying to install it on?
Thanks for your help! I wasn't able to get it to run correct at all on my current installation of Ubuntu, again im still new to Linux/Ubuntu and I was having problems with the OS so I installed Ubuntu 17 and it seems to be working fine now!
I may have had a not installed it correctly from the start, because it wasnt the only program not able to run.
