Reinstall for different user on Ubuntu

I installed sabnzbd with the wrong user (lets call him user1), so the default base folder (with complete and incomplete folders) has been set to /home/user1/
Now, I want to install it for user2 instead.

Even after uninstalling sabnzbd completely and removing /home/user1/.sabnzbd , when I reinstall for user2, the base folder is still /home/user1/
Since user2 does not have write permission in /home/user1, I get a bunch of errors like these :

Code: Select all

Cannot create temp file for /home/user1/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
Why is it that sabnzbd remembers the /home/user1/ folder even when I completely uninstall and reinstall?
Is there a way to manually change this setting?

Thanks in advance!

How did you install SABnzbd: via "sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus", or download from the website
How do you start SABnzbd?

What's the output of

Code: Select all

sudo updatedb && locate sabnzbd.ini
