Hello, we switched from autotools to cmake a few days ago, make uninstall is not in the spirit of cmake .(http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#Can_I_do_.22make_uninstall.22_with_CMake.3F)
The list of installed files is stored in install_manifest.txt in the build directory.

As the faq point out to remove the installed installed you could use the following command:
xargs rm < install_manifest.txt

Thx for your support guys and sorry for the late answer.

Title:
  make uninstall misses a few things

Status in Marlin:
  New

Bug description:
  First off, I wish there were somewhere that I could express just how
  grateful I am that this file manager exists.  It is exactly what I
  want in a file manager, and doesn't come with / force me into all
  kinds of things that I don't want.

  I always tell configure to set my prefix to a temporary directory somewhere so I can see how well something uninstalls when I don't have a readily available Arch package for it.
  In doing so on this, I found that it leaves files all over PREFIX-DIR/share such as a .desktop and locale files
  I don't really know how uninstalling is supposed to handle these, but I would assume when you run "make uninstall" you want it to remove everything it installs with "make install" which it fails to in this instance.

  On a side note that I'm not sure is a bug / is a bug with marlin; when
  compiling using the latest git version of the vala compiler, marlin
  segfaults on startup.   If requested, I'll file this as a separate bug
  with a backtrace I have saved.

  Thanks again for the awesome file manager.  +1 doing things right.
