Get rid of apt update warnings
I had a 21.04 system that gave no warnings when I ran apt update, but then I ran this command (suggested by the internet)
add-apt-repository universe
and after that I get warnings when running
apt update
The warnings are
W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'universe/binary-amd64/Packages' as repository 'http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hirsute InRelease' doesn't have the component 'universe' (component misspelt in sources.list?)

EDIT: Added /etc/apt/sources.list and tried to clarify what I did to mess up my system.
Solution 1:
You created the problem when you created the line that says
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hirsute partner universe
Edit that line to the following, which will stop the errors:
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hirsute partner
