  • So sudo apt purge mosquitto-clients should be enough. Make sure you type the package name correctly. – DK Bose Nov 14 '18 at 11:42

    if you install it from a Repository, you can purge it with type sudo apt-get purge --remove mosquitto* for the include mosquitto package, mosquitto-clients package also mosquitto-dev package. if you want remove that Repository with type sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:mosquitto-dev/mosquitto-ppa – abu-ahmed al-khatiri Nov 14 '18 at 11:43

As Abu Ahmed Al Khatiri comment in question, is working for me so here is the commands how these needs to run.

To remove all mosquitto packages like mosquitto, mosquitto-clients and mosquitto-dev below command will be used:-

sudo apt-get purge --remove mosquitto*

After this we need to remove repository type so need to run this command too on terminal:-

sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:mosquitto-dev/mosquitto-ppa

This works for me perfectly. So this may help any one.
