What does this tool do.
Example: I want to delete evolution.
Does this tool only delete evolution-parts
or does this tool delete all broken software?

Can this damage Linux or Xubuntu?

QUESTION:

How to delete a progamm in Linux.
Example:
sudo apt-get install evolution.
OK.
Then I destroyed something in evolution.
I did a backup and this destroyed the directories.
So I want to clean PC from evolution and then install again.
sudo apt-get remove evolution.
BUT
after install again evolution
there was the dirt from before.
I think
it is the same problem like windows.
Linux is creating many files like registry and I have to clean them also.
