Yes ... make clean, change the name in the Makefile, redo what you want
and build.

There is no way to remove it automatically (if you didn;t make it as an
RPM) ... but it should be fairly easy since all the modules should be
in /lib/modules/kernel_name (so after you reboot on your new kernel and
it works, remove that /lib/modules directory) ... and everything else
you need to remove should be in /boot (the initrd-xxxx.img and vmlinuz-
xxxxx).
