First you should not use ppa instead you're able to fix problem by yourself... Now if you want to come back to normal distribution without ppa. You can use an app called ppa-purge. You can install it with sudo apt-get install ppa-purge. Then to revert a ppa, use this: sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging to remove staging ppa for example.
In term of stability, I will strongly suggest you to only use gnome3 and gnome3-next ppa. staging ppa should not be used by a normal user, except if you know exactly what you're doing.
