I am trying to uninstall software center for ubuntu oneric using the command sudo apt-get remove software center and get this as result

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package software
E: Unable to locate package center

I did it once and got it fixed but now it does't work. I have an issue with the software center it keeps on repeatedly giving message saying send error.

I think you are missing the hiphen between software and center. The command you seem to be looking for is sudo apt-get remove software-center
