# dkms status
snapapi26, 0.7.46, 2.6.9-1.667, i686: installed

# dkms remove -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.46 –all

2. Remove all Acronis RPMs (ignore all messages about the non-presence of packages):

# su 
# rpm -v –rebuilddb –define=”_rpmlock_path /var/lock/rpm”
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps AcronisAgentLinux
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps BackupAndRecoveryAgent
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps snapapi26_modules
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps snapapi_modules
# rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps dkms
