How to remove and uninstall AMPPS completely on Ubuntu 18

I used ampps, but I faced a lot of problems, so I decided to remove it, so i want to remove t cleanly and completly I have Ubuntu 18.

I tried:

sudo apt purge ampps*

I get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package ampps*
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'ampps*'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'ampps*'
Solution

  • You can't uninstall ampps using apt because it is installed using the Ampps-<version>-<arch>.run script. According to ampps wiki : AMPPS is installed on fixed path /usr/local/ampps.

    To uninstall ampps:

    sudo pkill ampps
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/ampps
