What is the correct way to completely remove an application?

I've searched the net for such information and found different command lines, like these ones:

sudo apt-get remove applicationsudo apt-get remove application*sudo apt-get remove --purge applicationsudo apt-get remove --purge application*sudo apt-get purge applicationsudo apt-get purge application*

So, what is the correct way? Is it necessary to use that "*"?

After that, I also found these commands:

sudo updatedbsudo locate applicationsudo rm -rf (file/folder name)
