How to get rid of BuddyPress?

Do I really need Buddypress when I'm not trying to build up a community? I tried disactivating it but then the site won't load.
For simplicity reasons I would prefer getting rid of it, when possible. How?

Hi,

Did you deactivate "rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress" plugin first? then try to deactivate BuddyPress plugin.

Ah. don't I need rtmedia?

If you don't want to use BuddyPress, rtmedia is also unnecessary (rtmedia expands the BuddyPress features).

thanks!
