actually, I almost figured that out, I also setup nginx on port 80:
# lsof -i :80
COMMAND   PID     USER   FD   TYPE  DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
nginx   23139     root    6u  IPv4 4859411       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
nginx   23140 www-data    6u  IPv4 4859411       TCP *:www (LISTEN)
nginx   23141 www-data    6u  IPv4 4859411       TCP *:www (LISTEN)

so I killed nginx, but still got the same error, so I changed apache to port 
8000. Nothing else is using that port:
# netstat -plant | grep ':8000 '
paulandcilla:/etc/apache2# lsof -i :8000
paulandcilla:/etc/apache2# 

yet still..
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Restarting web server: apache2(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not 
bind to address [::]:8000

this still doesn't answer my original question of how to actually remove all 
the config files for apache, and basically start over.
