I want to completely remove ProFTPd and all it’s files from my droplet, how do I do so from the Ubuntu console?
I have tried sudo apt-get remove
and purge, but didn’t seem to do anything.
I just need a 100% fresh installation from that package

Hello,
If running as root, this will work. If not, add sudo before the commands.
Then you can search your droplet for the left over directories and files with these commands.
This will remove the directory and everything inside.
Remove a single file.
I hope this helps.
PS: Please take a snapshot first. Removing things from your droplet can be risky in some situations. If you delete the wrong directory or file, the world could come crashing down for you.
