It really depends what you plan to do.

If you just want the system to use yum repos and disable
yum-rhn-plugin, edit

	/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf

and set enabled = 0.

If you just remove the profile from Spacewalk (via WebUI, for
example), it should also work, even if you will likely get
errors about missing / unknown credentials.

If you want to make the system believe that it was not registered
to Spacewalk but keep the profile in Spacewalk (for whatever reason),
remove or rename away /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid.
