Fully apt purge all the relevant packages instead of just uninstalling them and then manually wipe any fragments of the installation and config directories left over afterwards. Ensure to backup any .config or plugin settings if appropriate and then wipe all of those as well. Finally reinstall and reinstate any personalisations.
Alternatively if your backups are good selectively restore the correct directories - but I'm guessing if you're asking here then that's probably not an option or you would have already done it.
Copy on Write filesystems obviate the need for unpleasantness such as this so put in on your long term to-do list.
