If you tell your package

If you tell your package manager to uninstall ejabberd, it probably only deletes the files it installed. Then you have to remote also the generated files (config dir, mnesia database spool dir, and logs dir). With that you would go back to square one.

And where are those files created? the ejabberd Guide mentions where they are created by default, but maybe your package manager configured ejabberd to install them in a different place.
