Topic: How to uninstall a rpm?

[Bill]

I installed the flexbackup rpm and now need to remove it. I have never had to uninstall anything on linux so pardon the newbie question....

How do I uninstall rpm's?

TIA,

Bill

[Terry]

rpm -e rpm.name.but.dont.include.architecture

if you installed dmc-mitel-portforwarding-0.0.1-5.noarch.rpm, to uninstall it'd be:

rpm -e dmc-mitel-portforwarding-0.0.1-5

Bill,

Easy:

rpm -e nameofpackage

for example I install crap-0.1-04.rpm to uninstall I would:

rpm -e crap-0.1-04

Or even rpm -e crap

[Schotty]

And would this delete all crap from my pc?

[root@mylife root]# rpm -e accidents
