Right - the uninstall will delete the files laid down by the install, but
not touch other files in the directory. This includes the .db that has the
configuration.
So you will need to manually delete all the files in the ntop directory
before reinstalling.

I don't know the directory structure on Fedora - unless RedHat / Fedory use
the same exact structure? Ntop installs things in bin, etc, lib, man, and
share. Ie:
/share/ntop/html
The DB files are usually in /usr/local/var/ntop. These are where the rrd
files and runtime preferences are stored as well as misc other data files.

Subject: [Ntop] Uninstall / Reinstall on Fedora
I am trying to uninstall / reinstall ntop. I am having issues with
host.clusters and am hoping a reinstall may fix some things.
My issue is that an uninstall isn't really uninstalling. I am using an RPM
from Fedora 10 via yum.
After install, when I attempt to start the service I get the error "Starting
ntop: service not configured, run ntop manually".
This generally requires that I run ntop from the command line, where it will
ask me some questions for the initial configuration, including the admin
password.
After the initial startup, the service should simply work. What I see now
is that ntop starts from the command line without asking the questions, but
the settings from the previous install.
Any ideas on how to reset ntop on Fedora.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Matthew
