Quick Guide, howto Remove and disable YUM repo (repository). Yum command itself does not contain any way to remove the repository. YUM repo The files is located in/etc/yum.repos.d/directory.

I Use the Kde.repo file with following content as example on this guide:

[KDE] Name=kde mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-stable gpgkey=http:// Apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-redhat. Rpm-gpg-key enabled=1

Remove YUM Repo (Repository) permanently

Before moving repository permanently is a good idea to check this is the repository installed using RPM package. As many repos usually are, like rpm-fusion, Livna, etc. Search Repository rpm-package with following command:

Rpm-qa | grep -I. repo-name

Example:

Rpm-qa | grep -i rpmfusion rpmfusion-nonfree-release-13-2.noarch rpmfusion-free-release-13-2.noarch # # OR # # Rpm-qa | grep -i livna livna-release-1-1.noarch

If Rpm-package found then simply remove whole rpm-package with following command:

Rpm-e Some-repository-rpm-package

Example:

Rpm-e Livna-release-1-1.noarch

If rpm-package not found then simply remove repo file with following command:

rm /etc/yum.repos.d/repo-file.repo # OR Just rename it (without repo file extension) # # mv/etc/yum.repos.d/repo-file.repo/etc/yum.repos.d/repo-file.repo.bak

Example:

rm /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo # OR Just rename it (without repo file extension) # # MV / Etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo/etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo.bak

Disable YUM Repo (Repository) Disable YUM Repo

Edit repo file On/etc/yum.repos.d/as root and change enabled to 0

# # change enabled=1 # to enabled=0

Example:

# change [KDE] name=kde mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-stable Gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-redhat. Rpm-gpg-key enabled=1 # to [KDE] name=kde mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/ Apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-stable Gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-redhat. Rpm-gpg-key enabled=0

Enable disabled repo quickly with YUM:

Yum Install Some-package
