Uninstalling Vim compiled from source

To uninstall vim, you can just download again the sources and run in the source directory :

make VIMRUNTIMEDIR=/usr/share/vim/vim73
sudo make uninstall

replacing /usr/share/vim/vim73 by the one you used for installation.

You have to run make distclean before make VIMRUNTIMEDIR=...

cd ~/tmp
hub clone vim/vim
cd vim
make distclean <---
make VIMRUNTIMEDIR=/usr/local/share/vim/vim80
sudo make uninstall
