A long time ago, almost certainly using dnf or yum, I installed "Eclipse"
and something that starts with "Eclipse C/C++".

How do I remove these applications that I never use?

How do you know that you even have Eclipse installed?  If there is an
executable, say, '/usr/bin/eclipse', then running
'rpm -qf /usr/bin/eclipse' will tell you the name of the package that
owns that RPM.  You can then use that with the 'dnf remove ...'.

That worked:

-bash.1[~]: ls /usr/bin/ec*
/usr/bin/echo  /usr/bin/echoscu  /usr/bin/eclipse
-bash.2[~]: rpm -qf /usr/bin/eclipse
eclipse-platform-4.16-13.fc32.x86_64
-bash.3[~]: dnf remove eclipse-platform-4.16-13.fc32.x86_64
Dependencies resolved.
[... snip ...]
xsom-20140514-3.fc32.noarch

Complete!
-bash.4[~]:

Both applications now no longer have icons when in Gnome, I click "Activities".

[... snip ...]

Since the first part of your post fully worked, I did not try the rest. But the rest is good to know.

Thank-you for your help Jonathan.
I've marked this thread "SOLVED".

Bill.
