With locate (or find) you can find all instances of "emacs" and also
"emacs-23.2" and "emacs-24.0.50" and remove them. The same for the
version sub-directories "23.2" and "24.0.50" in /usr/local/libexec/
emacs and /usr/local/share/emacs.
You can launch that "emacs" binary in your PATH and choose from the
Help menu "Send Bug Report…" or type M-x report-emacs-bug RET. In the
*unsent mail to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org* buffer you'll find a text
describing where and how this "emacs" was built.
Finally you can use the trace utilities to see which files and
directories these "emacs" executable files open.

How many Microsoft engineers does it take to screw in a light-bulb?
None.
They just redefine "dark" as the new standard.
