I don't remember the exact command - and it may require the installation of a utilities package - but if you remove the 3rd party repositories from your yum configuration, there is a command that will identify and remove orphaned packages - packages which do not exist in any of the yum repositories yum is configured to use. Anyone recall what that command is?
