If you installed into /opt, then you should be able to just delete the
appropriate subdirectory of /opt.

My general rule is that whenever I install unpackaged software, the
software gets installed into its own subdirectory in /opt (unless I'm
installing for just myself, in which case it's a subdirectory of
~/scratch). If something should be accessable systemwide (in your
$PATH), I symlink the binaries into /usr/local/bin. When I need to
delete something, I can just delete the appropriate subdirectory
of /opt.
