apt-get purge or aptitude purge or dpkg -P. apt-get clean just removes
the downloaded packages from the system (all the packages in
/var/cache/apt/archives). You need to do apt-get purge on installed
packages though. I think that dpkg -P will also work on uninstalled
but not purged packages but not sure.
