They're stored in:

/var/cache/apt/archives/

unless you've issued a:

apt-get clean

sudo make uninstall

In a Debian based system, instead of (or after*) doing make install you can run sudo checkinstall to make a .deb file that gets automatically installed. You can then remove it using the system package manager (e.g. apt/synaptic/aptitude/dpkg). Checkinstall also supports creating other types of package, e.g. RPM.
