How to remove and purge Nginx?

[karadayi]

Plesk 12 will not do it and if you reinstall it you get errors after installation. Maybe a bug but seems nobody is interested in answering my question before.

I tried to remove by

apt-get remove --purge sw-nginx
dpkg -r sw-ningx

Both of them display that is removed but after a new installation are the folders not created and maybe old files not overwritten if not deleted.

What is the serious reason for complete removing nginx? Why disabling nginx service with

# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/nginxmng -d

is not enough for you?
