This is what I have tried so far:

$ sudo apt-cache search lightworks  

lightworks - Hollywood-strength editing for everyone  

$ sudo apt-get --purge remove "lightworks - Hollywood-strength editing for everyone"  

Reading package lists... Done  

Building dependency tree         

Reading state information... Done  

E: Unable to locate package lightworks - Hollywood-strength editing for everyone

Ubuntu Software Center can't find lightworks.

Syntax for removing a package with its configurations is:

sudo apt-get purge [Package name]

Or

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [Package name]

So run :

sudo apt-get purge lightworks

Or

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove lightworks

The section, Hollywood-strength editing for everyone is a description about software. Not the package name.
