Easier way to uninstall programs which have been built from source?

I usually need to build many software from source. Sometimes I need to uninstall some software. I know that I can uninstall with 'make uninstall', but isn't there any easier way to do it, so I wouldn't need to keep all the source code on my computer?

Try using checkinstall. It's available for many distro's from their package manager.
