what do you mean with 'stale files' and 'manual remove'?

there are some files that don't get removed when uninstalling some packages
also from /lib, but mainly from /etc.
when i uninstall a package i first to a qlist and then see if some files
haven't got removed and proceed removing them if equery say they  don't
belong to any package installed in world (obviously first i move them in
another directory and after seeing that they aren't really needed i remove
them).
