First of all, I'm really new to Ubuntu and Tor. I've been trying to get tor working for days now and I can't seem to do it. Right now I'm trying to remove all remnants of tor/vidalia/polipo from my computer so I can start fresh again.
I've uninstalled vidalia and tor from the software center, but there's still two folders in the /etc directory (privoxy and polipo). Does this mean that these programs are still installed? If not, can I just delete the directory and how would I do that? I'm using Ubuntu 11.04.
To remove the configuration files, re-install tor and polipo, then purge them (remove removes the application, but leaves the system configuration files.
From the apt-get man page
purge
purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and purged (any configuration files are deleted too).
