ogra at styx:~$ sudo apt-get purge unattended-upgrades

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  unattended-upgrades*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 
...

(just press Y there)

but as i said ... with this you take away the ability to know if your
system is vulnerable for attacks by any malicious software, trojans,
rootkits, zero-day-exploits etc ... i'd leave it in place and switch
the config to "notify only" so you can manually update at a convenient
time.
