Removing livewallpaper.

I can not seem to find any resources regarding the removal of livewallpaper, a google search yields nothing on the topic and I have been driven to ask you guys.

I have little knowledge of ubuntu or linux in general and I have some extreme anxiety coming here for answers to this mundane question. So be gentle?

If you installed it from the PPA like this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install livewallpaper livewallpaper-config livewallpaper-indicator

You should be able to remove it with:

sudo apt-get remove livewallpaper livewallpaper-config livewallpaper-indicator

Alternate method:

Use ppa-purge to uninstall livewallpaper. First you need to install ppa-purge:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

Then run the following command if you installed livewallpaper from the daily ppa:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily

Or if you are using the stable version, run this:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-stable

If none of @elder 's solutions worked, add --remove as seen below

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily/

you can also add ubuntu at the end:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily/ubuntu

This will throw an error and inform you of other relevant livewallpaper packages to uninstall. Helpful if you have the indicator installed like I did.
