Ok, so can't you just go in to ubuntu software manager [if you installed
it which it runs fine on server after install] and go to History and
remove it there or could do a sudo apt-get [--purge] remove with purge
it removes all configs as well as the pack with no purge it remoes the
package, BUT leaves the config files in place.
apt-get --purge remove {package-name}
If not sure what the package is named try to search using apt-cache as
in the below examples. Once found then run apt-get --purge remove with
the package name [apt-cache uses package name ONLY [not the .deb part]]
Search for package or package description
Some times you don't know package name but aware of some keywords to
search the package. Once you got package name you can install it using
apt-get -i {package-name} command:
apt-cache search"Text-to-search"
apt-cache search"httpd"
apt-cache search"web server"
apt-cache search"web server"|grep something

package]!
