Are you worried about leftover settings in Gnome or something?

What I want to do is to remove what I suspect is a broken installation

do this using synaptic, re-install afresh and start to set up, the
settings from the previous installation are still there. Hence my
concern.

You can also do a "dpkg-reconfigure <package name>" to reconfigure a
package if you suspect a configuration error.
