Every file installed through *.rpm packages can be seen with
rpm -qal
Redirect that output to a file, examine, and remove file by file.
You can also remove package-by-package. The list of installed
packages is
rpm -qa
Again redirect that output to a file, examine, and remove package by package
using
rpm -q PKG
for each PKG listed.
