I managed to install 0.49 from the unstable repository but cannot find out in which folder it was installed or how to start it.
I'm on Debian Stretch 9.5 .
oh my. you really shouldn't install packages from "unstable" onto your "stretch" installation. simply wait for the packages to appear in stretch-backports, and install from there. it's probably another 3 days to wait.
(alternatively, you can upgrade your entire system to "Debian/unstable"; those distro releases are really there to guarantee you a consistent system)
When I type "pd" into the console it still wants to start 0.47 from /usr/lib/puredata which I finally moved away from the original folder.
Neither "apt-get remove puredata" nor "apt-get purge puredata" did uninstall my Pd 0.47 version.
that's because the "puredata" is just a meta-package that depends on the actual packages puredata-core and puredata-gui (and doesn't provide any functionality on it's own). even worse, the "puredata" package is happy if any version of puredata-core and puredata-gui are installed (even if it is just 0.47).
