How to fully remove an app?

I installed the recipes web-app, and played around with it. I decided to delete it, then tried to install phprecipebook using the name 'recipe', but I received an error message that the name was already taken. Is there any way I can reuse the name 'recipe'? Do I have to clean up some data in a database some where? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

ahh, good question. there is no support in the GUI for this at the moment.

yum can do this:

Code: Select all

rpm -e hda-app-recipes
which will remove it entirely.

this area of web apps needs some TLC. :)
