"apt-get remove --purge" and "dpkg -P" doesn't remove user-wide settings, it would be a nightmare otherwise. Why would you want to delete them anyway? Imagine that a company decides to migrate to something else and turns back to the base app in some time. The sysadmin should configure the settings of tens or hundreds of users then.
