How do I uninstall something I installed from source?

If you still have the directory you installed and configured from, usually you can perform a 'make uninstall' but other than that, check the README or INSTALL files for the correct way to remove, etc.

also it may call it ./make clean

or you can search and destroy:

find / -name "*programname*"

then

rm -rf /the/file/location/filename

~BEWARE~
make sure you delete only the correct files for the program you are trying to delete.
