That doesn't sound right; the boost headers and libs will go into standard 
paths -- e.g. /usr/include/boost.

What happened is that libboost-all-dev pulled in a whole bunch of other 
packages.  Removing libboost-all-dev doesn't automatically uninstall those 
others.  You can try "apt autoremove" to remove packages not explicitly 
installed manually that have no reverse dependencies (i.e. not depended upon 
by other packages you installed manually).

That may leave some (e.g. if you installed manually); so you can check the 
list of boost packages remaining with: dpkg --list | grep boost.
