    sudo ppa-purge ppa:nameofppa

    For example I used it to purge the tomahawk ppa with

    sudo ppa-purge ppa:tomahawk/ppa

    Hi ,

    you have to know the name of the ppa.
    see
    Code:
    man ppa-purge
    for more info.

    If I guessed correctly the ppa name is this : ppa: xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10

    So the correct command is
    Code:
    sudo ppa-purge ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10 
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    Thanks

    I have been using Y-PPA-Manager for this.
    It's in the Software Center.
