I installed xfce desktop long back and uninstalled it. Yesterday when i retried after doing a new "yum groupinstall XFCE" all the settings that i had in my previous installations were picked back. I guess the configs were not removed from the system at that time, finding the same i uninstalled the environemnt and now when i query the hidden files under my home directory for xfce there is no results. I guess that they are some where else.
Please guide how can i make a fresh new install of xfce.

Hi Sawrub, please have a look at ~/.config/. You will find any Xfce configuration file or directory there.

Xfce stores it's config in ~/.config/xfce4/ for the most part. Some of it's apps store config in ~/.config/<appname>/
So, you should be able to move aside the ~/config dir and get a fresh setup.
