if you apt-get remove samba and there are some manual config files...on
a redhat system...

rm -fr /etc/samba # you can verify by 'locate smb.conf'
rm -fr /var/cache/samba # you can verify by 'locate winbindd_cache.tdb'

would get rid of the remaining stuff, UNLESS - you were fooling around
with smbldap (which I bet you weren't).
