What's the Right Way to Delete a Download?

I have tried installing a Quanta tarball, without success, and in the process downloaded Quanta twice. Now, apparently, I have some messed up files. I want to delete all of it, which is in my Home directory. Can I simply open the various folders and files and hit delete? Or, is there a better way of "cleaning" these files from my Home directory? These files do not appear in the control center.

if you installed the software with a

 

./configure

make

make install

 

procedure, then go into the folder of your application as root and run

 

make uninstall
