Removing Trusted software providers from 'Software & Updates'
The PPA didn't work so using 'Software and Updates' I removed its entry under the 'Other Software' Tab. However, under the 'Authentication' tab, it is still listed as a Trusted software provider. I clicked remove and entered my password but it is still on the list. Please help.
In this time you can rely to terminal for list current trusted software provider, by:
sudo apt-key list
Now find your key that you want to remove, when you finish searching, run following command:
sudo apt-key del (keyid)
Where (keyid)
is the actual keyid of your corresponding trusted software providers.
For example:
Liso@thinkpad:~$ apt-key list
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/nowrep-qupzilla.gpg

pub 4096R/ED0F784C 2014-08-02
uid Launchpad PPA for PPSSPP
Liso@thinkpad:~$ sudo apt-key del ED0F784C
[sudo] password for Liso:
OK
Will delete PPSSPP key.
