Uninstall Python3.3.4 (previously installed via source code)

Question

How can I uninstall Python3.3.4 previously installed via source code? During the installation I made:

./configure --prefix=/opt/python3.3.4
make
sudo make install

I tried sudo make uninstall and make unistall, but nothing happened.

Answer 1

I'd go for something unsubtle like

sudo rm -rf /opt/python3.3.4

assuming that's where Python was actually installed. But this looks unnatural, because why would anybody ever want to uninstall Python?

Also, if you have modified your PATH settings and the like you will have to undo those effect manually.

Answer 2

You can just delete the directory:

sudo rm -ri /opt/python3.3.4
