If you have the build directory then it is recommended to execute:

 $ sudo make uninstall

from the build directory as per @Navid 's answer

But this will leave few .so* files somewhere

To completely remove all such files, do:

$ sudo rm /usr/local/{bin,lib}/*opencv* 

/usr/local is what we normally set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to while running cmake. Replace it according to how you executed cmake
