That  depends on  the particular  program. Read the  documentation
that  told  you  how  to   install  it;  it  should  also  include
information on  how to remove  it. Often, a ``make  deinstall'' or
``make  uninstall'' will  work.  If  all else  fails, examine  the
source to see what it did to install it (copy files, modify files,
etc.) and  manually do  the reverse  (delete files,  modify files,
etc.).

How to use command history depends  on what shell you're using and
is documented in that shell's manual page.
