A PPA is an acronym for Personal Package Archive. It is nothing but pre-built binary software repository for apt packages. Over time I have added way too many PPAs using the add-apt-repository command on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS server for testing purpose. How can I delete or remove those PPAs using command line? Is there a command to list all PPAs?
