There are no packages involved. You just have to manually delete the files. You can verify by running "rpm -qf /boot/*" or whatever other directory you're checking to see which files aren't owned.
Thank-you Samuel. That worked.
While doing those "rpm -qf" commands, 2 questions came to mind.
1. Suppose [dir] has sub-directories. If I do "rpm -qf [dir]/*", will it also check [dir]'s sub-directories?
If no, then
2. How do get the sub-directories checked without having to do them manually one-by-one?
Comment/suggestion
The output for some of the "rpm -qf" runs showed a lot of output. It showed both owned and unowned files. It listed sub-directories as though they were files. It would have been too easy to miss that a file is owned, and then do an "rm -rf" on something that should be kept. I found it helpful to add
| grep " not owned "
or
| grep -v " not owned "
to get a clearer picture of things, and to give me more confidence that doing "rm -rf [dir]" is safe.
I recently started a sys.admin. tips file for myself. I'm definitely adding the "rpm -qf" with the pipe to grep to that tips file.
