I have removed samba using :
apt-get --purge remove samba
and then Manually removed the smb.conf using rm *.* after going to the Samba directory.
Now While I trying to install Samba again I am getting the following error:
Starting Samba daemons: nmbd/usr/sbin/nmbd: /usr/local/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /usr/sbin/nmbd)
/usr/sbin/nmbd: /usr/local/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /usr/sbin/nmbd)
failed!
I am unable understand why this is happening. Please help
Edit:
After trying ps aux | grep samba getting the follwing response:
root 25793 0.0 0.0 3088 716 pts/0 R+ 09:17 0:00 grep samba
Have no idea what to do with this?

Now Have the follwoing error:

I have already removed smb.cnf file
I guess it’s because you uninstalled samba only and wiped out the config file so something stayed installed and without configuration.
I think there are ways to repair, but I would try to reinstall on a “clean” base doing:
sudo dpkg -P samba samba-common smbclient
sudo rm -f /etc/rc*.d/*samba /etc/init.d/samba
before anything and reinstall with sudo apt-get install samba
