make clean: it only cleans out the "dirt" left from the make process.
make uninstall: should work, but only if you do it as root. (sudo make uninstall)

there were many errors that it couldn't remove some files from /usr/share path.

That's why you need to run it with sudo. It gives admin privileges.

EDIT: Be careful though, don't run everything with sudo. You'll most likely break your system if you don't know what you are doing.
