I got the solution, which comprises of four steps,
Step 1: Open Application>Accessories>Terminal and then paste this command over there,

Code:
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm # Deletes a troublesome config file

Step 2:
After above command did it task, paste the following in Terminal

Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure adobe-flashplugin --force # Force-reconfigures adobe-flashplugin

Step 3:
After that,

Code:
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all adobe-flashplugin # Force-removes adobe-flashplugin

Step 4:
and finally, this one

Code:
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree # Installs flashplayer the easy way

Try this, I am sure it will work
