Now, I want to remove it completely (i.e., also remove its entries ins YaST Software Management). How can I do that?

Note that it is always going to show up as a possible package to install
if it’s in a repository you’re subscribed to.
Uninstalling the packages will remove it from your system.

Well, that stinks. 
(sorry, couldn’t resist)
What happens when you try to run a spell check?

Look within LibreOffice: Tools - Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids
Can you see your desired dictionary in the selection “User-defined dictionairies” ?
I had set my default language as English India but it was not there in the list. English (GB) (UK) was there in the list, so I set English UK as my default language. But still there is no effect. Auto spell check (and not smell check 
) still does not work.
Whenever I open Tools -> Spelling & Grammar, I get a dialogue box saying ‘Spell check is complete’ even if I purposely write misspelled words in the document.

open terminal and install “myspell-british” .Only American is installed by default
sudo zypper in myspell-british
You can also install “myspell-british” through YaST installer.
You may additionally need to delete the old profile and reconfigure the settings

I don’t understand. First you ask how to completely remove LibreOffice.
Then you ask about problems with the spellchecker… I’m baffled,
because you removed it all! You can no longer spellcheck with LO, as you
don’t have it. You may do spell check on a plain text file using the
command line “aspell” or “ispell”.
And the subject of this thread is still “Remove Libreoffice”…
Can you please clarify?

Great! It works…I did not have to delete the old profile…simply installing myspell-british helped. Now can you tell me how to get English (India)?
Thanx a lot…!
Actually, I was trying to install LibreOffice 3.6 with the help of this link: How To Install LibreOffice 3.5 In openSUSE | Muktware
After following the instructions, something weird happened. YaST was experiencing package problems and my LibreOffice was not working. I wanted to remove it and so, I started this thread. After that, I installed LibreOffice 3.6 from software.opensuse.org: [unstable packages]. I installed LibreOffice 2.6 and all my problems were solved except for the dictionary one. I would also like to mention here, that the dictionary was not working in LibreOffice 3.5 also [the preinstalled one]. I did not start a new thread for this dictionary problem. Hope this clears your doubt.

Thanx…[/RIGHT]
Joke Of the Day: I misspelled ‘spell’ as ‘smell’ due to the lack of LibreOffice dictionary…!

Just fire yast package manager and type in the search box “myspell”,
there are dozens of entries. Find the one for your language if it
exists. I see myspell-hindi - is that it?
If it doesn’t, I guess it just needs a community to create it…

Nope. English India is English specially made for India (in the grammar and style of Indian English)…Like there is English UK and USA, there is English India. English India is there in Ubuntu (installed in my system).
Anyway, thanx…
You’re welcome. You must know what happened to my computer to fix the problem in a smarter and swifter way, is not it???
English GB should be quite similar to English India

Ok. If Ubuntu has that dictionary, how is it called there? You can
search for that file, and if it doesn’t exist, report that in Bugzilla.
Assuming it is not an ubuntu only addition…

Looks like it is. It isn’t in OBS or the LibreOffice website.
I don’t know if it will work, but why don’t you copy your dictionary from Ubuntu to openSUSE in ‘~/.config/libreoffice’?
