Yes...basically take the caliper and bracket off. Pull the slides and boots and clean everything. I would use brake cleaner to get everything clean. Check the boots for cracks or holes and replace as needed.
When you installed the new pads and rotors did you install new hardware as well? Re-using old hardware can cause the pads to drag.
