# rpm -e packagename
or
# yum remove packagename
(if you want yum to take out the dependencies too - don't worry, it'll
ask you for confirmation before removing them)
Could you try running "du -ks /* > /du.txt" and post back the contents
of the file /du.txt when it's done (this will take a while)? This should
show which top-level directory is taking the excessive amount of space.
When you installed the OS, did you do an "Everything" install?
Paul.
