You can always delete the module from $HOME/webapps/"application name"/apache2/modules. Then make sure you are not trying to load it in your $HOME/webapps/"application name"/apache2/conf/http.conf file and then restart apache.

That will ensure that it is not running in your apache instance.

Not sure I need to delete the files, I can just comment the LoadModule mod_rewrite.. , I'm just asking if the module if even needed by default ( I think not)

You can certainly comment the module out. In most django applications it is not needed.
