As usual with GUI applications reinstalling them doesn't help. Such 
applications create configuration files / directories in the user's home 
directory and the installer may not touch these files.

There are several possible locations for user config files:
In $HOME there may be a file ".programrc" for an application named 
"program" or there is a directory ".program/" which contains several 
config files. For KDE applications you can usually find the config files 
in "$HOME/.kde/share/config/" and for many other applications the 
configuration is in "$HOME/.config".

In your case the configuration is probably in "$HOME/.pyrenamer/" 
because that directory is created if you run pyrenamer the first time.
