How to uninstall a rpm that I checkinstalled?

I just built vim with checkinstall running:

[root@localhost vim]# checkinstall -R -y --fstrans=no

I see there is a rpm created there :

[root@localhost vim]# ls /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/
checkinstall-20141012-1.x86_64.rpm  vim-20141012-1.x86_64.rpm

vim works fine...

For some reason I cannot uninstall it...

[root@localhost vim]# rpm -e /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/vim-20141012-1.x86_64.rpm
error: package /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/vim-20141012-1.x86_64.rpm is not installed
[root@localhost vim]# rpm -e vim-20141012-1.x86_64
error: package vim-20141012-1.x86_64 is not installed
[root@localhost vim]# rpm -e vim
error: package vim is not installed

How can I do this?
