So I uninstalled KODI, did an autopurge, switched to sudo and did a whereis kodi, deleted directories found recursively (-r switch), did a whereis xbmc (nothing found), rebooted, then reinstalled kodi and it still had my old profiles present. How is this possible and how can I get rid of it?

The userdata folder shouldn't be in scope for your package manager. You will find it under ~/.kodi

The profiles are stored in the users' $HOME directories. For each user that you want to delete the kodi settings for, delete $HOME/.kodi .

Ah, so it's hidden. Found it under /home/username/.kodi
Switch to user profile directory (case sensitive of course)
$ cd /home/username
List contents of all including hidden to verify presence:
$ ls -al
Remove hidden file:
$ rm -R .kodi
