Remove ppa from previous Ubuntu versions

Question

As the title, is there any way to automatically identify and remove ppa residual of previous release? I have upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 from 13.04 and my /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory contains a lot of raring ppa.

E.g.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  248 set  8 12:10 jd-team-jdownloader-raring.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  248 apr 26 21:12 jd-team-jdownloader-raring.list.distUpgrade
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  248 set  8 12:10 jd-team-jdownloader-raring.list.save

I think the author knows how to remove them, and rather wants to know what the suffixes mean. — Benjamin Marwell, Sep 18 '14 at 06:36
@Ben Yes, you're right. The problem is that I have a lot of reference to raring PPAs and I want to remove all them in a single shot. Is this possible? — tigerjack, Sep 18 '14 at 09:37

Don't know if this is the right way to do this, but it works for me. N.B.: I only had raring ppa

$>sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*-raring.list
