if you want to do it via command line, because its cooler, use this
$rpm -qa | grep packagehere
this will list all the packages containing "packagehere" but, be a little
generic with package here, and watch for caps. it is sensitive. it took me
a long time to unintsall maya because i kept searching for maya and not
Maya. but, most of it is lowercase.
then to remove the package
$rpm -e packagehere
you enter in the "packagehere" just as rpm -qa displayed it, dont put rpm at
the end.
thanks,

There's an add/remove applications tool in the menu.
You can "erase" RPMs manually, if you know which ones to remove.
You can use YUM to remove packages.
Take your pick.

Do you really need to ask that? Of course you can remove something that
you're not using, not going to use, and nothing else needs. If nothing
depended on it, what would be the point of requiring its presence?
