You will have to remove the PPA which were added to the system
Step 1: List the PPAs
find /etc/apt/sources.list.d -type f -name "*.list" -print0 | \
while read -d $'\0' file; do awk -F/ '/deb / && /ppa\.launchpad\.net/ {print "sudo ppa-purge ppa:"$4"/"$5}' "$file"; done
Step 2: Now, remove them
find /etc/apt/sources.list.d -type f -name "*.list" -print0 | \
while read -d $'\0' file; do awk -F/ '/deb / && /ppa\.launchpad\.net/ {system("sudo ppa-purge ppa:"$4"/"$5)}' "$file"; done
