I am trying to ppa-purgeagornostal/ulauncher,apandada1/brightness-controller andlinuxuprising/shutter

packages which I listed usingfind /etc/apt/sources.list.d -type f -name "*.list" -print0 | while read -d $'\0' file; do awk -F/ '/deb / && /ppa\.launchpad\.net/ {print "sudo ppa-purge ppa:"$4"/"$5}' "$file"; done command.

But when I try to run the following commands

sudo ppa-purge ppa:agornostal/ulaunchersudo ppa-purge ppa:apandada1/brightness-controllersudo ppa-purge ppa:linuxuprising/shutter

It fails with following WarningUpdating packages lists PPA to be removed: agornostal ulauncher Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: agornostal ulauncher

How can I use "ppa-purge" on these?

I found the answer after some research,

Step 1: Listing items using following comandfind /etc/apt/sources.list.d -type f -name "*.list" -print0 | while read -d $'\0' file; do awk -F/ '/deb / && /ppa\.launchpad\.net/ {print "sudo ppa-purge ppa:"$4"/"$5}' "$file"; done

Step 2 Direct to /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder.

Step 3 Remove all results got from the 1st command in this folder path
