The AUCTeX manual offers the following:

   If you want to remove a preinstalled AUCTeX completely before any of
its modes have been used,
     (unload-feature 'tex-site)
   should accomplish that.

I don't know how the ELPA version deals with it.

In any case,

M-x customize-variable RET TeX-modes RET

should give you control about what kind of modes you want to have AUCTeX
to provide.
