I think, you can compile emacs once again and then run "make uninstall"

It should still work. Unpack (the same version of) the source,
configure, make uninstall. In the worst case, it will get you most of
the way there. Your next installation should definitely be with a
package, though ...

Why haven't I thought about it before?:)

FWIW, I install from a /installs dir, and leave the stuff in there, just
to avoid such a problem. Its a matter of habits and disk space really,
and today's HDDs have enough space for such a "seatbelt" operation.

Its also handy for trying different versions of stuff, and replacing them
with the one you had if the new one is glitched or something.

I also know where all my *.tar.bz and .tgz files are when I want them. ;)

Shouldn't be a problem, just re-create it:
Find the source, unpack it,
../configure
make
make uninstall
