If you still have the build trees, then "make uninstall" will do (most
of) it.
If you plan to install multiple versions of Octave, I always recommend
using something like --prefix=/usr/local/octave/2.9.17 so that
everything is installed under a single directory tree. Then removing
is as simple as "rm -rf /usr/local/octave/2.9.17".
