Alassane,

   Since you did not install it using your distribution's package management
tools you'll need to do this by hand. This work flow will do the job, but it
takes time:

   1. Uninstall your distribution's gdal. This leaves only the 2.2.x version.

   2. From the root directory (/), as root (or sudo) run
 	find . -name gdal
     This will find all files with 'gdal' in their name.

   3. Again as the superuser, cd to each directory and remove that gdal file.

   4. Re-install the distribution's gdal-2.1.x.

HTH,
