I presume you mean that you typed "gmake -j".  I don't usually complain
about typos, but these make your question difficult to read.

The "make" command will execute whatever commands are specified in the
default Makefile.  Those commands will have whatever effect they would
have if you typed them at a shell prompt.  Without knowing what's in
your Makefile, it's impossible to know what your "gmake -j" command has
done.

There's a convention for Makefiles to have a "clean" target which will
remove any generated files.  It's possible that typing "gmake clean"
will undo whatever damage you've done.  I accept no responsibility for
any consequences, which again are entirely dependent on the contents of
the Makefile.

(The default makefile may or may not be called "Makefile".  Consult the
documentation for details.)
