[opensuse] RPM Deletions

I downloaded a few RPM's for a project I'm working on. Installed the
RPMs, all went okay, but when I went to preview the directories I
noticed some of the directories had no files in them, when they should
have. These directories were suppose to be built by the RPM's and files
installed.

Then I panicked, instead of using 'rpm -e', I deleted the new
directories. Now when I use 'rpm -U' to re-install the software, I get
the message that this rpm is already installed.

How do I get back to the beginning before the rpm's were installed and
start over, a clean slate.

Thanks,
