Bear in mind, that if you've built kernels inside these folders then there
are object files, libraries and other debris from the build process that
portage knows nothing about - so unmerging doesn't remove the folder
completely.

The thing to do is to cd into each folder and do "make clean" to remove
files left over from the build process. Then run the emerge command to
remove the package.
