I installed BRO 2.5.3 from source code using make in ubuntu-16.04. However I can't uninstall it using 

make uninstall

Any ideas how to remove it?

That's not a typical Make task. To remove Bro, assuming you have used the configure script with no options:

 rm -rf /usr/local/bro

Just to remove Bro Packages

sudo apt-get remove bro

and if you want to remove all the dependent packages also then:

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove bro

Later you can find the location of the nsm folder and delete it with sudo permissions.

  • You can only `apt-get remove` what you installed with `apt-get install`. The question specifically says they installed from source. – tripleee Dec 05 '19 at 07:39
  • @Mohammed, @octobus I would suggest installing [link]https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall even if you have already run `make install`, you can still use `CheckInstall`. Normally, `CheckInstall` will overwrite everything that `make install` created. After that just use `dpkg -r `, and everything should be removed. – Rahul Sapparapu Dec 05 '19 at 08:44
