Watch carefully, what will get removed to interrupt immediately, if something valuable will get removed also.

You could also remove left over configuration files with this command
Code:
sudo gainroot
dpkg -l | grep ^rc | cut -d ' ' -f3 | xargs dpkg --purge
If you are unsure or errors occur, feel free to ask again.
