A long time ago, almost certainly using dnf or yum, I installed "Eclipse" and something that starts with "Eclipse C/C++". [... snip ...] How do I remove these applications that I never use?
How do you know that you even have Eclipse installed? If there is an executable, say, '/usr/bin/eclipse', then running 'rpm -qf /usr/bin/eclipse' will tell you the name of the package that owns that RPM. You can then use that with the 'dnf remove ...'.
That worked:
-bash.1[~]: ls /usr/bin/ec* /usr/bin/echo /usr/bin/echoscu /usr/bin/eclipse -bash.2[~]: rpm -qf /usr/bin/eclipse eclipse-platform-4.16-13.fc32.x86_64 -bash.3[~]: dnf remove eclipse-platform-4.16-13.fc32.x86_64 Dependencies resolved. [... snip ...] xsom-20140514-3.fc32.noarch
Complete! -bash.4[~]:
Both applications now no longer have icons when in Gnome, I click "Activities".

Since the first part of your post fully worked, I did not try the rest. But the rest is good to know.
Thank-you for your help Jonathan. I've marked this thread "SOLVED".
Bill.
