No problem. You could use some one-liner like the following:
# for i in `dpkg -l | grep ^rc | awk '{print $2}'`;do dpkg -P "$i";done
Explanation:
dpkg -l: This will obviously print out the status of every known package.
grep ^rc: Only removed packages with config files left are relevant.
awk '{print $2}': We only need the package names.
dpkg -P: Purge the package.
But make sure that you *really* need none of those config files anymore.
Regards, Mathias
