I have learnt that using **purge** command rather than **remove** is considered better because purge removes all files related to an app including the config files etc.

Now this has happened before too but as now I dont remember those examples I state my latest encounter-

The Problem-
------------

even after purging,some files remain!

Latest encounter-
-----------------

cuttlefish( the app from the showdown)

I purged cuttlefish as it was nor working properly whatsoever and then restarted Ubuntu(although that is not necessary) and then re installed it to already find some trigers I had made in the app before deleting it already present! which meant some file(config or something) was not cleared out !

Now i tracked down 2 files in a folder(.cuttlefish) under home and found some files related to plugins and a **reflexes.db** file(which seems to be the one responsible to contain the triggers i got back on re instal)

I deleted them mannually and did the re install.Though m still facing other problems with the app,**Why dint the *purge* command remove these files?**

Thankyou!
