Linux System Administration
Software Management with RPM
RPM - Uninstall / Erase
The command to unistall/erase (-e) a package is as follows:
# rpm -e packagename
For example, assume we installed the program Tux Paint with the following command:
# rpm -ivh tuxpaint-0.9.14-1.fc3.i386.rpm
We would uninstall with the following command:
# rpm -e tuxpaint
Notice that we only used the name of the package, and not the entire name of the RPM file.
If we do use the entire name of the RPM, then we will be told that the file is not installed.
If there are no dependencies on this package, then it is removed.
