To completely remove Apache and its configuration files from an Ubuntu system, follow these steps:

  1. Uninstall Apache2 Package: First, you'll need to remove the Apache2 package using the apt-get or apt command.

    sudo apt-get purge apache2 apache2-utils apache2.2-bin apache2-common

    Or if you're using the newer apt command:

    sudo apt purge apache2 apache2-utils apache2.2-bin apache2-common
  2. Remove Configuration and Database Files: The purge command should remove configuration files, but to be thorough, you can manually check and remove any remaining configuration and database files.

    sudo rm -rf /etc/apache2
  3. Remove User and Group: If you want to remove the www-data user and group (which are created by Apache), you can use the following commands. However, be cautious with this step, as other software might also use the www-data user/group.

    sudo deluser www-data sudo delgroup www-data
  4. Autoremove and Clean: After uninstalling Apache, you might want to remove dependencies that were installed with Apache and are no longer used.

    sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean
  5. Check for Remaining Apache Processes: To ensure that all Apache processes have been stopped and removed, you can use:

    ps aux | grep apache

    If you see any Apache processes still running, you can kill them using the kill command.

  6. Optional: Check for Other Apache Packages: If you've installed other Apache-related packages or modules, you might want to remove them as well. You can list all installed packages that have "apache" in their name with:

    dpkg --get-selections | grep -i apache

    Then, you can remove any other packages you identify from the list using the apt-get purge or apt purge command.

Remember, always be cautious when using commands like rm -rf and purge, as they can permanently delete files and configurations. Always make sure you have backups of any important data or configurations before proceeding.
