Well im using FedoraCore3, and today I onyl felt like removign this RPM I installed earlier. How do I go about removing Bit Torrent from my system? I dont feel like using it anymore and have a different system I can use bit torrent on if i need it. I installed it from an RPM so how do I go about removign it? Im using GNOME if that matters.

You can remove an rpm by either using a package manager which installed the rpm in the first place or you can open up a console shell and type rpm -e xxxxxxxxxx(where xxxxxxxxxxx is the name of the rpm to be removed)hope this helps

for the xxxxxxx would i type the RPM name such as bittorrent-3.9.0-2.1.fc3.rf.noarch.rpm or what? in usr/bin there are multiple bt files or what would i type in?

Yeah you need the exact name of the rpm that you installed

so bittorrent-3.9.0-2.1 or do I need to type out the entire name with no architecture and all of that crap?

No, just the name of the package e.g.
#rpm -e bittorrent

Sorry if i was a bit vague yeah say if it was the sims.rpm i would type rpm -e sims.rpm it might work with just specifying the package ie rpm -e sims
