Remove Apache2 from Ubuntu Completely

A very simple and straightforward way that worked for me since 2015 to now, is as follows:

sudo service apache2 stop
sudo apt-get purge apache2* -y
sudo apt-get autoremove -y
sudo rm -rf /usr/sbin/apache2 /usr/lib/apache2 /usr/share/apache2 /usr/share/man/man8/apache*
whereis apache2

---

Explaination:

• sudo service apache2 stop
  • Stop the service
• sudo apt-get purge apache2* -y
  • Uninstall the service
• sudo apt-get autoremove -y
  • Cleaning the apt (advance packaging tools)
• sudo rm -rf /usr/sbin/apache2 /usr/lib/apache2 /usr/share/apache2 /usr/share/man/man8/apache*
  • Remove the folders that created for Apache2
• whereis apache2
  • Find Apache2 folders, if the results is Apache2: , means no more Apache2 in your Ubuntu Server
