Sorta (just delete the hunspell dictionaries), but those are part of the 
hunspell-en package, so they will come back then next time hunspell-en is 
updated. (RPM doesn't expect you to go and delete files installed by a 
package.)

It scans for installed hunspell dictionaries. (I think the actual code used 
for this purpose when using Sonnet (KDE's non-deprecated spellchecking API) 
is inside the Enchant library. The legacy K3Spell code scanned the directory 
directly. But in both cases, the hunspell dictionary directory gets scanned 
for dictionaries you have installed.)
