Since I prefer to use Evolution, I would really like to completely remove Thunderbird from my PC. I already performed sudo apt-get purge thunderbird* but locate thunderbird still lists some hits:
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/thunderbird:thunderbird.desktop
/usr/share/app-install/icons/thunderbird.png
/usr/share/icons/HighContrast/scalable/apps-extra/thunderbird-icon.svg
How can I completely remove it?

This will completely remove thunderbird from your system.
sudo apt-get purge thunderbird*
Here is what went wrong in your case.
- You will need to wait for the locate database to update, or force update by
sudo updatedbbefore the system picks the changes. Or uselocate -eto print only files existing at the timelocateis run. - The files you see in
/usr/share/app-installbelong to Ubuntu Software Center. - The files in
/usr/share/iconsbelong to the corresponding icon theme.
