You can use any directory, just set 
project -> project settings -> configure options to
--prefix=/my/location

Uninstall is there, run either "make uninstall" from the build directory
or use "Automake manager" view (at the right of KDevelop window).
There you'll either find uninstall at the submenu or will be able to
add "uninstall" make target.
