Answer found: It's by cding into the directory where you compiled the application and do 'make uninstall'. Sorry for the post. I just accidentally found the answer after i posted this.

make rpm's of your build and install those instead. not required, but it makes life easier later on ( it will update the rpm database and you will be able to remove/upgrade it) plus you don't have to keep the source directory around.
