How to remove software installed through PPA

To remove a software installed through PPA follow these steps

1-Via Terminal

(if you just removw ppa and not the software, it will be replaced by ubuntu software centr version of that software )

open terminal and  type

sudo ppa-purge ppa:name of ppa

for example to remove qbittorrent

sudo ppa-purge ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable

2-GRaphical method

Go to software and updates and then othersoftwares and select specific ppa and remove it

and then

sudo apt-get remove --autoremove softwarename

For example for qbittorrent (it will remove qbittorrent from 

ubuntu ) You can install it via software centr

sudo apt-get remove --autoremove qbittorrent

 

then you can use bleachbit to clean or sudo apt autoremove

 

 

 

and then following

sudo tlp start

Google chrome , Opera , Skype , Teamviewer also have ubuntu versions

you can download these from their websites (use google to get their websites)

Idm Alternative is XDM which can be downloaded from Here

Download your concerned file whether 86 or 64bit right click and "extract here" then open Terminal and type sudo then select the file (with single click) and drag that file to terminal and press Enter and then put your password and its done ( Browser integration part is explained on the website of XDM 2018).

now you can use your laptop :)
