I am trying to remove devtoolset-7 from my CentOS system. For this I am running following commands:-

sudo yum remove devtoolset-7
sudo yum remove devtoolset-7-libatomic-devel
sudo yum remove devtoolset-7-libatomic-devel

After running these commands, I list out devtools by command:-

sudo yum list | grep devtoolset-7*

devtoolset-7 is still present in there. here is the list I got:-

  • The easy way to identify installed packages is : `$ rpm -qa | grep devtoolset-7` – Knud Larsen Sep 19 '19 at 17:45
  • Isn't asterisk required? `sudo yum remove devtoolset-7\*` https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_software_collections/3/html/packaging_guide/sect-uninstalling_a_software_collection – Winand Apr 28 '22 at 12:20

You've fallen into the "default" trap; yum list will (from man yum, under "List Options"):

List all available and installed packages.

My emphasis on available. If you only want to see the packages that you have currently installed, use:

yum list installed

Additionally, be careful with constructs like:

sudo yum list | grep devtoolset-7*

As your shell will attempt to expand devtoolset-7* as a wildcard and could potentially match one or more filenames in your current directory, confusing your results. Instead, yum can take a wildcard to search for:

sudo yum list installed 'devtoolset-7*'

(Notice the single quotes protecting the wildcard from the shell).
