If you don't have a space issue then leave it.
There's really no point in removing components just because you don't use them any more.

You can't uninstall X if you still plan to use the GUI. You might be able to uninstall optional components that you're not using though. "rpm -qa" will list all packages installed. See which X pacakges you don't use and "rpm -e packagename" will erase what you're not using.
