Are you trying to uninstall what?
You don't need to uninstall existing packages, you can simply do "rpm 
-Uvh name" to update existing packages to new ones.
However yum can uninstall packages with all it's dependencies (i suggest 
you to use it with care).
You can use even yum gui's such as yumex (http://linux.rasmil.dk/mambo) 
or gyum (http://fedoranews.org/tchung/gyum/2.0).
If you like command line you simply have to write "yum uninstall 
package" (without quote, package name or/and version, not code 
optimization and not extension).
You don't need to uninstall src.rpm, you simply have to delete files in 
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and /usr/src/redhat/SPECS.
Good luck.
