you might want to take a look at "ppa-purge" to remove ppa's *and* make
sure that packages from such a PPA get replaces by the official archive
packages again (in case a PPA had newer libraries the app you installed
from it required etc etc):

$ apt-cache show ppa-purge

Description-en: disables a PPA and reverts to official packages
 This program disables a PPA from your Software Sources and reverts
your
 system back to the official Ubuntu packages. You can use this to
return your
 system to normal after testing a new version from a PPA.
