The file name is _not_ the package name, so your attempt to remove it
that way will not work.

run "rpm -qa | grep ntfs"
then use the package name returned there in the rpm -e command

I believe the package name will be kernel-module-ntfs which would lead
to the command "rpm -e kernel-module-ntfs".
