Hi!

I compiled i3 a few weeks ago, and I'm now trying to patch it for xmb support: so I need to uninstall previous version to be clean. So I went in the sources folder and tried "make uninstall"... But there is no target!

How can I properly remove this?

Just install it again :)

We really really want you to use your distribution’s packages. There is no support at all for installing i3 from source, and the lack of an uninstall target is part of that :).
