That is wrong advice. You don't need --nodeps to remove the 32-bit packages. You could do things similar to
rpm -qa|grep .i*86$|xargs rpm -e
to remove all of them at once without introducing broken dependencies.
I would run a
yum remove glibc.i686
That one will easily tear down the entire 32 bit world. ;-)
That should work in many cases.
There can be arch-specific packages that don't depend on glibc, however, or some which don't implement a base package dependency. For example, -static library packages, C++ template-only API -devel packages.
