Remove configuration files
 

**** ¡Hello there! This is my question: if I wish to eliminate a package plus its configuration files with APT, I just type:

**** sudo apt-get remove --purge package

**** However, if I have removed packages without eliminate its configuration files (without the command --purge), how can I then eliminate its configuration files, after I have already eliminated the package? Thank you.

With aptitude. Try "search" first:

aptitude search '~c'

This displays all packages which have config files left. You can remove
them with "sudo aptitude purge" or even all of them at once:

sudo aptitude purge '~c'

The same way as above, just do
sudo aptitude purge package
