I have a Ubuntu system with a mix of softwares that were installed either by
- synaptic/dpkg
- manual built and install
However, I would now like to remove those software that were manually built and installed. Is there a systematic way of doing this?

sudo make uninstall
It removes the manually build/installed software, it needs to be executed on the same folder it was originally builded upon. Another version of the sources should not work correctly, so you have to keep the original sources folder.
TIP: THATS why i recommend replacing sudo make install
by sudo checkinstall
which makes an easy to remove .DEB file
