[Evolution] Removing and reinstalling evolution on Debian

[vicki oz progeny com (Vicki Stanfield)]

I tried to remove and reinstall evolution to see if it fixed a problem I
was having, but I couldn't seem to get to a "virgin" install. Evolution
always remembered my previous settings. Here are the steps I took:

shut down evolution
apt-get remove --purge evolution
mv ~/.evolution ~/something_else
apt-get install evolution

Why doesn't this delete my settings?
