I have recently corrupted my Gimp installation. When I try apt-get remove gimp it removes it. But when I try to reinstall it fresh from repository, it won't. It just installs it back from local package manager or repository.

I want Gimp completely get rid of, including all settings and configurations so my next install is all fresh like a first time install, so I hope my corrupt Gimp starts working again.

I've even tried using apt-get purge gimp but didn't work.

How is this possible?

Thanks.
