Of course, KDE is just one of the many DE(Desktop Environment) available.  The 
other most common one is GNOME.  You are free to choose whichever one you 
like!

If you want to remove KDE completely, you can do:

su -c 'yum groupremove kde-desktop'

and if you want to install it back:

su -c 'yum groupinstall kde-desktop'

But beware, when you remove it, there are some other things that might get 
removed like (I think) NetworkManager!
