Under Windows, a “cold” reboot is frequently necessary to complete the upgrade/installation. By “cold” reboot, I mean a total reboot, not merely an hibernate-awake cycle.
Maybe the “purge” is not cleaning everything. Try the following: after uninstalling and purging, open a terminal and issue the following command
whereis libreoffice
If the command return some directories/files, manually delete them (you’ll need admin rights) and only then try to reinstall.
whereis does not show any configuration files even before I purge it. The likely reason is some user-based config file that is not in .config/libreoffice (tried that) but somewhere else.
That’s strange. All config files are in ~/.config/libreoffice. Can you restart in safe mode (Help → Restart in safe mode)?
