Uninstallation of a module

I installed httpd-devel by using

yum install httpd-devel

now how do I remove this and all the packages related to httpd-devel ?

You can remove any package that's been installed by running this command:

rpm -e PACKAGE_NAME

If there's any dependencies that also need to be removed, it would tell you about then when you go to remove the package.

What is the difference between yum remove httpd-devel

and

rpm -e httpd-devel

Nothing, really, there's multiple ways to remove a package.

I like the rpm command better because it's less typing :-)
