To uninstall an RPM by package name, use "rpm -e packagename". To find out what package a certain file belongs to, use "rpm -qf /path/to/file". To list all files belonging to a package, use "rpm -ql packagename". To list all packages installed on the system, use "rpm -qa". The last is useful in conjunction with grep, eg. "rpm -qa | grep -i php" will list all packages with php in their names.

Yea, RPM did have that feature where you can see which package a software came from. I wonder if dpkg or apt has that feature. It's time for the man pages.

when you uninstall, make sure you noe the software dependencies issue.

Code:
