The filename has no bearing on the package name when installed. In this case, the download is called "zoom_x86_64.rpm" but it's real rpm filename with the typical name-version-release.arch may be queried from the download file itself: rpm -q --qf='%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n' -p ./zoom_x86_64.rpm zoom-5.13.5.431-1.x86_64 As you can see, the real package name is "zoom". "sudo rpm -ev zoom" would also be a fine option.
