Introduction

We will see how to list and delete configuration files that have already been deleted.

Course

Let's list the packages where the packages have already been removed but the configuration files have not, in our example three :

$ dpkg -l | grep ^rc
rc  docutils-common                0.14+dfsg-4                  all          text processing system for reStructuredText - common data
rc  linux-image-4.19.0-5-amd64     4.19.37-5+deb10u2            amd64        Linux 4.19 for 64-bit PCs (signed)
rc  unzip                          6.0-23+deb10u1               amd64        De-archiver for .zip files

Then let's force a purge via apt of these packages:

$ dpkg -l | grep ^rc | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -t sudo apt-get -y purge

You can then check with dpkg, the packages will no longer be present.

Conclusion
