Removing alsa

[Cryptix]

i sort of have a installation of alsa gone bad that i did from this tutorial http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml and this one https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-331445-highlight-alsa+mixer.html . can anyone tell me how to get rid of the files compiled and put on my computer during these so i can sort of revert it to a state without any alsa to start over?
