So what should i mention that will uninstall squid is it #rpm -e squid.2.1.4.rpm
'rpm -e squid' ought to work on RH systems. If it does not, try doing an 'rpm -qi squid'. If this results in a message saying "package squid is not installed", do a 'rpm -qa |grep squid' and see if you get anything in the output. If you do not, either squid is not installed, or else you have a corrupted rpm database (likely). RPM does have some unlovely features that bring its very distant and very ugly cousin, the Windoze registry, to mind.
In case of the latter, you have to rebuild the RPM database. For this, su to root, and run 'rpm --rebuilddb', and then again try 'rpm -qi squid' to verify that the rpm database again recognizes squid. You can then safely run rpm -e to remove squid.
If this too does not work, you're going to have to remove Squid's bits and pieces manually (I think).
