Use your package management tools instead, for instance,
on fedora, using yum, I'd do:

find out what package name for a fundamental X file:

	# rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/X
	xorg-x11-6.8.2-30

do 'yum remove xorg-x11' to remove it and all its
dependents.

	# yum remove xorg-x11-6.8.2-30

this will spit out huge list of dependencies
to be removed as well;  inspect it, and hit 'y'

You might have to do a few iterations to get
rid of all gui stuff.
