Hi:
For some reason Wicd is not visible to "apt-get purge" .
So, am not sure if it is due to a profile settings, etc. or it is a general issue.
WICD was not installed in my 16.04 installation - I have fully functional wifi and wired networks.
Can you install it either with command line or synaptic and subsequently purge?
It is visible via synaptic: wicd-daemon, python-wicd, wicd-gtk, and wicd-curses v. (1.7.4+tb2-1) I could properly delete from synaptic. But that is uncommon-- something may need to be fixed.
Is wicd present from an upgrade from an older Ubuntu version vs fresh install?
Or how was it installed?
According to: cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep "\ install\ "

following fresh install.
WICD has ran nice for me in the past, but like pfeiffep, I had no need for it. So if apt will not do the job, try purging it with dpkg and follow that with an apt autoclean/autoremove.
Terminal code:
man dpkg
