You can use yum-plugin-post-transaction-actions to delete the files (not currently available in CentOS 8 though): Create a file named /etc/yum/post-actions/httpd.action With the content: httpd*:update:rm -f /etc/httpd/conf.d/file_to_delete
You should also be able to leave the files empty instead of deleting them - yum should leave the modified files alone. - Y Sent from a device with a very small keyboard and hyperactive autocorrect.
