    How to uninstall/remove PPA applications

    These apps are shown in Update Manager > Settings > Other Software. I assume that if you uncheck it, it will stop updating. But how do you uninstall it?

    For example I installed "VideoLAN Movie Creator" as per instructions here:

    http://trac.videolan.org/vlmc/wiki/Downloads

    Installation worked fine but how do I get rid of the app?

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove vlmc
    or
    Code:
    sudo apt-get purge vlmc
    if you want to remove its configuration files too.

    Thank you. Now if somebody searches Forums -- Topic Title for "uninstall PPA" there will be at least one hit.
