I had installed git by downloading the tar ball and then doing the following steps
./configure --prefix=/scratch/custom/git
make
make install
But after running these commands, I still see that git is created under /usr/local as below
bash-4.1$ whereis git
git: /usr/bin/git /usr/local/git /usr/share/man/man1/git.1.gz
I would like to remove and reinstall again how do i do the same?

If make unistall doesn't work, as mentioned here, uninstalling on linux, try make install again, capturing the output.
Then go through all of the install commands and manually remove the installed files.
Also, 'make -n` may help to determine all of the installed files.
