[ubuntu-in] What is Command to cleanup the old existing installed software ?

[Sriranga(78yrsold)]

I have not installed package from repository. Actually, I had downloaded
tesseract-ocr source codes from svn and was installed using command like
./confgure. make etc. As such correct commandline is requested for using in
terminal to delete/remove/uninstall all installed tesseract-ocr including
tessdata folder.
With Best of Luck,
