do a complete re-install to fix the problem. How do I get it completely gone?
What do you mean by "completely gone"? Going by what you have written, it is gone.
There may be some relics in your /home/user folder. I can think of two ways to get around that. One is to enable "view hidden files" in your file manager, look for any relevant config files and delete them.
The other is to "trick" apt-get. You say that the purge command says
Code:
Package my-weather-indicator is not installed, so not removed
So go to synaptic and install it. If there are any config files left on the system, the will be associated with the install. Then run the purge command again. If I am not mistaken, this will then remove everything associated with the program.
As I said, I think it is already completely removed, but if you are not convinced, try the above.
