I would use "purge" instead of "remove".
~# apt-get purge ".*:i386"
~# dpkg --remove-architecture i386
The "purge" keyword removes all configuration files associated with the packages you're uninstalling.

I would use "purge" instead of "remove".
~# apt-get purge ".*:i386"
~# dpkg --remove-architecture i386
The "purge" keyword removes all configuration files associated with the packages you're uninstalling.
