Hi Prabhu,
          Looking at the traces given, it appears that you installed hadoop by 
downloading the tar.gz file. Such a package cannot be uninstalled / removed 
using apt-get command. Only if you have installed package using "apt-get 
install <package>" then you can remove using same command.

You can check if following command shows hadoop package installed:
# dpkg --list | grep hadoop

If you see some package in the output of this command then you should be able 
to remove it using apt-get command.

Thanks,
Sagar
