title: What's the opposite of 'make install', i.e. how do you uninstall a library in Linux?
body: <p>While running </p>
  
  <pre><code>./configure --prefix=/mingw 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on a MinGW/MSYS system for a library I had previously run </p>
  
  <pre><code>'./configure --prefix=/mingw &amp;&amp; make &amp;&amp; make install' 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I came across this message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>WARNING: A version of the Vamp plugin SDK is already installed. Expect worries and sorrows if you install a new version without removing the old one first.  (Continuing)</p>

  <p>This had me worried. What's the opposite of 'make install', i.e. how is a library uninstalled in Linux? Will 'make clean' do the job, or are there other steps involved?</p>
