Hello ,

If you installed the program with

++++++++++++++
sudo make install
++++++++++++++

then go to source folder and unistall it with

+++++++++++++++++++
sudo make uninstall
+++++++++++++++++++

The best suggestion is to read the README file inside source code folder and see how you can uninstall the program.

Thanks
