installing software from source, make uninstall question

If I install software from source I think the make uninstall options is pretty useful, sort of like removing software with apt. Is the only way I can do this to keep the source directory on my system or can I just download it again later configure and run make uninstall then?

So long as you download the correct version and use the same configure string you should be able to just download it again and then perform the steps you mention.
