Which is to say, if you used an rpm-package to install the thing, as

rpm -ivh opera-WHATEVER.rpm

You need to remove by

rpm -e opera (or possibly rpm -e opera-WHATEVER)

You need to be root to do this.

I think RedHat has some graphical tool for this - but I'm not sure as I never use it for rpm's.
