How can I remove zenmap that I installed using this method:

bzip2 -cd nmap-7.00.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
cd nmap-7.00
./configure
make
sudo make install

Running make uninstall may work. It's up to the library's authors to provide that. Most libraries usually have one.

Otherwise, you'll have to manually uninstall it. Running make -n install will show the steps that the software would take to install itself. You can then try to manually reverse those steps.

PS: In the future to avoid this type of problems try to use checkinstall instead of make install whenever possible. It will create and install a .deb file that you can then uninstall using your favorite package manager.

    There were times when make uninstall wasn't the norm. I have run into a lot of such problems since then. – Ashhar Hasan Dec 05 '15 at 16:52
