You can run the dpkg command. I don’t suspect it will remove anything extra. If not, then you can proceed with the rm commands. You might want to take a look at those directories. It’s possible they are now empty, but the directories were not removed. (It seems /etc/gnucash is gone now however)
Before you get to rm though, I’d also run the autoremove command that apt suggested to clean up all of those no-longer needed packages. (some of which were part of the original gnucash installation as it noted.)
