I created a rpm (.spec file) to install a program and create a
symbolic link to it. After I do "rpm -e" to remove the package, the
program and symbolic link still exist, how to fix this problem?

Add -vv to the rpm -e command, this will give you lots of information
about what is going on from which you should be able to see what is wrong.

Did you put the program and link in the %files list?

Let's see your .spec file.
