I installed and removed pinta, the image editor. I removed it using:

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove pinta

I thought this would remove all vestiges of the program. But it still shows up when I run sudo apt-get update there is an endless list of pinta-maintainers it is seemingly trying to install, with a bunch of junk I don't want to be seeing any more. For instance:

Ign:20 http://ppa.launchpad.net/pinta-maintainers/pinta-stable/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 DEP-11 Metadata                                         
Ign:21 http://ppa.launchpad.net/pinta-maintainers/pinta-stable/ubuntu xenial/main DEP-11 64x64 Icons

Reading package lists... Done
W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/pinta-maintainers/pinta-stable/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.

Further, when I open the software updater, under the Other Software tab, there are still two checkboxes for pinta:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/pinta-maintainers/pinta-stable/ubuntu main
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pinta-maintainers/pinta-stable/ubuntu main (Source Code)

Why are they still there, and what can I do to stop this? If I just click "remove" will that be sufficient, or will I just be hiding some deeper evil?

The answer to both my problems is found in the question: In the Software Updater, go to the first pinta maintainer line, click remove. All of the above problems go away.
