I was installing llvm using sudo make install but due to space constraints it was not completed and failed, but it has created so many heavy files in my machine so that now I am running out of space.

Can someone tell me how to delete files that were created during the incomplete installation?

Try sudo make uninstall. This target is usually configured in make installations.

    Try doing any build configurations you need to do, but instead of doing `make`, run `sudo make uninstall`. If it complains that it can't find an install manifest, re-build it, re-install it (it should overwrite existing files), and then run the uninstall target. – saiarcot895 Apr 06 '14 at 17:47
