To uninstall vim, you can just download again the sources and run in the source directory :
make VIMRUNTIMEDIR=/usr/share/vim/vim73
sudo make uninstall
replacing /usr/share/vim/vim73
by the one you used for installation.
i did just that .But it didn't remove vim .I can still use vim.Here is the output when i run sudo make uninstall paste.ubuntu.com/5903278

@ka4tik indeed, you need to set again theVIMRUNTIMEDIR
variable. I'll edit my answer.

To uninstall vim, you can just download again the sources and run in the source directory :
make VIMRUNTIMEDIR=/usr/share/vim/vim73
sudo make uninstall
