When I upgraded to 11.04 Deja Dup started behaving strangely, it would begin a new full backup everytime the computer was started because it was looking for a drive and folder which I had removed some months earlier. Deja Dup had behaved perfectly normal under 10.10, but the upgrade seems to have it using old settings.
So I was wondering how can I purge all the configuration files and folders so that next time I reinstall Deja Dup it starts using and remembering the settings I want? I can not find any folders in /home/username/.config or in the home folder, but on each install something is telling Deja Dup to look at old settings.
Any help would be great!
