How to undo sudo add-apt-repository?
I run
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/indicators
to install my-weather-indicator but it requires GTK3 and I don't want to proceed.
So I'd like to undo that command. I'd checked my /etc/apt/source.list but I didn't find any line related to it.
What should I do now?

add-apt-repository creates a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d for ppa repositories. Besides deleting the appropriate file you also should delete the added gpg key:
- get the keyid from
apt-key list - delete it via
apt-key del $ID

From Ubuntu's manual pages (man add-apt-repository):
-r,--removeRemove the specified repository
So...
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:noobslab/indicators
This removes it from the repo list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.
Depending on what you are doing, BEFORE you run the above command -
If an installed package from that repo is newer than the same package in a standard repo, then manually downgrade with ppa-purge:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:noobslab/indicators
For Debian, just delete the .list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

If you want to undo add-apt-repository, having used a format like e.g.
sudo add-apt-repository
"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
$(lsb_release -cs)
stable"
Use the output displayed by the following command to find the repository you want to delete
grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
Example output:
/etc/apt/sources.list:#deb cdrom:[Linux Mint 17.3 _Rosa_ - Release amd64 20151128]/ trusty contrib main non-free
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list:deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu trusty stable
...
In this example /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list would have the repository to undo/remove. Edit the file and remove its line.

If you want to undo add-apt-repository, having used a format like e.g.
sudo add-apt-repository
"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
$(lsb_release -cs)
stable"
Use the output displayed by the following command to find the repository you want to delete
grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
Example output:
/etc/apt/sources.list:#deb cdrom:[Linux Mint 17.3 _Rosa_ - Release amd64 20151128]/ trusty contrib main non-free
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list:deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu trusty stable
...
In this example /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list would have the repository to undo/remove. Edit the file and remove its line.
