You can use globbing ("*" and "?") along with the "package_name.arch"
format to remove all 32-bit packages as follows:
# yum remove '*.i?86'
Note that if you want to install a package in the future, specifying the
name will default to installing all possible arches, if there is more
than one. If you do not wish for this to happen, you can use the exclude
key along with the same glob as above to prevent Yum from installing
_any_ 32-bit packages in the future by adding "exclude=*.i?86" to
your /etc/yum.conf file.
Hope that helps.
