How to uninstall a programm that's not on the applications list?

Asked by linux_newby

I am totally unexperienced with Linux and need to uninstall a third-party program that I have downloaded and installed using this command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install libc-dev libpng12-dev
sudo apt-get install wget libjpeg62-dev libxml2-dev
wget http://flam3.com/flam3-2.7.6.tar.gz
tar xfvz flam3-2.7.6.tar.gz
cd flam3-2.7.6
./configure
make
sudo make install

can anyone please write down for me the command that would get rid of it again ?

Thank you very much.

this should work if you still have the directory available (havn't deleted it),
cd flam3-2.7.6
sudo make uninstall

if you have deleted it run this first:
wget http://flam3.com/flam3-2.7.6.tar.gz
tar xfvz flam3-2.7.6.tar.gz

 I guess flam3-2.7.6.tar.gz.1 and flam3-2.7.6.tar.gz can just be moved to trash.
Thank you so much for your help.
