If you create your own rpm, you may make mistakes in the scrips of pre and post installation and removal. Especially removing an rpm with a wrong pre-uninstall script is not possible, e.g removing a folder that doesn’t exists. For that case you can erase the rpm with the --noscripts
option.
rpm -e --noscripts my-rpm-1.0.0-85.noarch
After that clean up manually.
