This is based on a tutorial found on the Ubuntu forums
1. Go to System>Administation>Synaptic Package Manager
2. Click the Status button (bottom left) then click Residual config.
3. If anything comes up in the right hand window, select it and Mark for Complete Removal, then click Apply.
4. Click on All, then on any name on the right hand side. Type localepurge and check whether it is installed or not. If not, install it. When it install it asks you for your locale. I selected en-us – this is the locale that it will leave on my system, getting rid of anything else.
5. Do the same for the deborphan package.
on terminal
H4ck3r@kartook:~$sudo apt-get autoclean
H4ck3r@kartook:

H4ck3r@kartook:
H4ck3r@kartook:~$sudo deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove —purge
