That depends entirely on the package.  Many have a "make uninstall", but
many do not.  Assuming you still have the build tree, you should be able
to examine the Makefile and see what got put where when you did "make
install".

This shouldn't happen: packages you install locally should go under
/usr/local, where official packages do not tread.

good times,
