How to remove unwanted configuration files/folders?

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3814 / 3 Years ago, mon, may 24, 2021, 4:39:21

When installing an application it creates few files/folder, mostly in HOME ~/.config and ~/.local/share/.

After removing the application these files do not automatically get removed. So, is there a way to remove all the files related to a removed app?

PS: How to remove configuration files completely <- I've read this question but it suggests removing the files one-by-one for each application. I am looking for a way to remove all these files in one step, if there's any.
