You can try "rm /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg".

Note that the distro version of FFmpeg is known to have more
bugs and less features, every-day FFmpeg gets the same
quality measures as releases.

I recommend to never install your custom build, by default a
binary is linked that you can either run from the build
directory or from your favorite location (from where you
can easily remove it), I never install.
"make uninstall" is supposed to remove the custom build
binaries from the installation directory, note that I suspect
the option is not well tested.

normally "make uninstall" should work, in doubt repeat the same build 
with exact same params - if this not works you hopefully where smart 
enough to use a prefix out of /usr instead let "make install" spit 
around your system


why not make a static build at all for "testing purposes" which leads in 
a single binary and skip "make install" completly?


in short: guys learn how to build proper packages

[FFmpeg-user] Howto remove ffmpeg custom build

2018-02-26 Thread ffm...@bechhold.de 
Hi,

I have downloaded and build ffmpeg version N-90022-g50945482a7  from git
for testing purposes.

Now I would like to remove this version and use the one provided by my
distro again.

How can I completely remove the custom build git version?

Thank you.
