That is the problem with the dnf technique, it doesn't give the actual
package name, you have to put it together manually.

On my system I ran the following convoluted command in order to isolate
a single kernel.
rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | grep 5\.8 | grep rc5 | less

Thank you once again. Your technique worked like a charm.

Here is the command I used:

    sudo dnf remove $(rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | grep 5\.7)

Did the trick perfectly. Only have 2 stable 5.6 kernels now.


I did have a couple lingering questions though:

What is the difference between dnf and rpm ? When do I use dnf over rpm and vice versa ? Shouldn't DNF be able to do everything that rpm does ?

What is reason for the existence of both ?
