Installing and uninstalling a package does not affect its settings in your home in any way.
Find where you have them stored and delete them. You don't need to touch the package.
Most likely, the configs are stored approximately there:
Or if the atom does not follow the standard ~/.atom
If you do not find it there, then look in the docks where it stores all the settings.
