It is likely to result in some cruft. You can probably clean it up manually.
However, I generally find that it's easier and faster to do clean installs
and reconfigure in cases like this. (If your data isn't safely on its own
partition making this easy, when you reinstall, make it that way, so that
next time it *is* easy.)
