you need to use the rpm command

Code:

rpm -qa

will print all the rpm packages installed in your system.
if you know the name of the package you can remove it with

Code:

rpm -e <packagename>

by using something like:

Code:

rpm -qa |grep <pattern>

you can filter out the packages displayed according to a pattern.
