Reinstalling Owncloud 9 on Ubuntu 16

Question

I wanted to create a fresh install of the program owncloud again

$ sudo apt-get remove owncloud
$ sudo apt-get purge owncloud
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
$ sudo rm -rf /var/wwww/owncloud

After this, I wanted to install owncloud again

$ sudo apt-get install owncloud

The second installation of owncloud did not create /var/www/owncloud again, as the first did. So, what did I do wrong and is there a possibility to install it normally again?

Sorry, that was a typing mistake. The problem is not to get rid of /var/www/owncloud, but to get it back with a new installation of owncloud — user2509663, May 22 '16 at 17:19
Ok, I see. Is your only problem that that directory does not exist? What if you create it manually and then run the `apt-get install` again? Any errors? — Robert, May 22 '16 at 18:15

So, I found the mistake that I made. I did not remove ownlcoud completely.

$ sudo apt-get purge owncloud
$ sudo apt-get purge owncloud-*
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
$ sudo apt-get install owncloud

After the procedure above, owncloud was freshly reinstalled

First of all, you need to purge all dependencies then by using reinstall flag you should accomplish it as the following lines:

$ sudo apt-get purge owncloud-*
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall owncloud
