A few months ago I installed emacs 23.1 from source. I just issued:
../configure
make
make install

I know I should've created a slack package for easier management. But I
didn't...
How can I remove emacs from my system now?
The only things I'm going to keep are ~/.emacs and ~/.emacs.d

thanks in advance

Get your locate database up to date
Do locate emacs - that will tell you where most of the big emacs
directories are
Delete 'em!

On my system most are under /usr/local/share/emacs and /usr/local/share/info

Track down the binaries and remove them too!!

A package is much easier .....

That's what I thought, but I don't want to remove too many files. Some
files might perhaps just be some kind of emacs extensions for other
programs.

I'll try to remove only files that are definitely part of emacs

The problem is that I removed the directory where I built it ages ago.
