Note: Don't use the -y option while removing packages. It's better to let yum tell you it's intentions so you can review them first. If everything looks good, then type y to continue with the remove operation.

Since you've referred to "sudo yum update -y", you would also use "yum"
to remove installed packages with "yum remove" (see "man yum" or the
help output for details). Note that if you specify a package to remove,
Yum will also try to remove any dependencies. So, if you specify an
old kernel (after checking with "uname -r" that you run a newer one),
it will also remove anything that depends on that kernel package.
