There's an add/remove applications tool in the menu.
You can "erase" RPMs manually, if you know which ones to remove.
You can use YUM to remove packages.
Take your pick.

Do you really need to ask that?  Of course you can remove something that
you're not using, not going to use, and nothing else needs.  If nothing
depended on it, what would be the point of requiring its presence?
