    <p>If you added a PPA to your system, but you no longer want it, then you can easily remove it using the <b>ppa-purge</b> tool. To do that, first install the tool via the following commands:</p>
    <pre>sudo apt update
    sudo apt install ppa-purge</pre>

    <p>Now, if you want to remove a specific PPA, you have to have its full name (e.g fossproject/ppa). So for example, to purge the <b>fossproject/ppa</b> from your system:</p>
    <pre>sudo ppa-purge ppa:fossproject/ppa</pre>

    <p>And after that, the repository and its software will be removed from your system (if the PPA was just containing newer version of packages already installed before on your system and available in the official repositories, then they will be downgraded to the versions from the official repositories).</p>
