Hi John,

A ppa can be removed simply through the Ubuntu Software Centre. Once you have the *Software Center* open *Software Sources* from the *edit* menu. Click on the edit tab. Now you can click on a software source and remove it by clicking /Remove/ or simply /uncheck/ it if you want to just disable it. No need to go editing config files.

I hope that helps.

Josh.

    Hi all,

    I have some ppa that are getting a 404 failed to get. I don't need
    them at all but
    when I update the are starting to annoy me.  I have found them in
    the file path below
    sudo vim  /etc/apt/sources.list.d but I cant remove them from the
    file. It asks me to do the following

    "
    ============================================================================
" Netrw Directory Listing (netrw v143)
    "   /etc/apt/sources.list.d
    "   Sorted by      name
    "   Sort sequence:
    
[\/]$,\<core\%(\.\d\+\)\=\>,\.h$,\.c$,\.cpp$,\~\=\*$,*,\.o$,\.obj$,\.info$,\.swp$,\.bak$,\~$
" Quick Help: <F1>:help -:go up dir D:delete R:rename s:sort-by x:exec
    "
    ============================================================================


     I am not confident enough to go further without knowing what is
    going on. My question is what is going and is this the right way
    to get rid of
    a ppa?
