Usually, unless there is an uninstall script included with
the program, you have to locate the program and manually
delete it.  For example if you have installed "foobar" then
# locate foobar
/usr/bin/foobar
/usr/doc/foobar
... and the like.  Then 
# rm /usr/bin/foobar
# rm -r /usr/doc/foobar (the -r option if it's a directory)
You have to be careful not to break any dependencies.  Tar
files require a bit more Unix savvy than rpm's.
