A simple
su -c "rpm -e preload"
will also work.
However that is not recommended, at least that is what I know. This leaves yum in a state where it is unaware of the removed rpm.
This is wrong. yum is just a frontend for rpm.
Yum also maintains a database of its own, that is how we get any of the newer features like yum history. Using rpm directly makes the 2 databases inconsistent with each other.
yum is really having much functions.
