I added a PPA and every time I run apt-get update the Bash reminds me of my failure:
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/whatever/
etcetera/.../.../Packages 404 Not Found
I want to know if there is a way to stop seeing it.

assuming you don't want to remove the ppa? – Zanna Jun 10 '16 at 06:47

Yes there is a way to stop seeing this, you have to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file or removing the proper file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory, for that open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and check if it is in the sources.list file by typing:
less /etc/apt/sources.list
If it is a line in here which got added you can edit the sources.list by:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
If its not there you might want to check the files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory by listing the contents of that directory with:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
If your line with the ppa shows there find the corresponding list file and remove it:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<ppa-file-name-which-is-involved>.list
Of course if you not want to remove this file but instead correct it you can edit it with:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<ppa-file-name-which-is-involved>.list
