>You have three options, <B

      <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make distclean</B

      directory. Using <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make clean</B
> will remove all
      the object files, built executables, and miscellaneous cruft,
      it's nice and safe.  The next option, <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make
      distclean</B
> should remove everything that wasn't in the
      original tarball. If you do this, you will not be able to <A

>.  The same goes
      for removing the source directory.  Basically, <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make
      clean</B
> is good for general use, the others should be
      considered drastic measures.</P
