Squeezecenter does not use /usr/local/slimserver but a totally different structure for its files. If you have deleted /etc/init.d/slimserver, then you should be able to install the squeezecenter rpm. If you are then happy with it you can remove /usr/local/slimserver in its entirety. You will have to set up squeezecenter from scratch, but it's worth it.
