I would like to remove the VLC nightly build and go back to the default VLC player. I tried sudo apt-get remove vlc which removed it, then I deleted the Nightly PPA and tried to install VLC sudo apt-get install vlc but couldn't as I got a few errors.



There must a proper method, please let me know.

The proper method to remove a ppa and to use the program version of the official ubuntu repos, is to use ppa-purge.



First, you need to install ppa-purge:



sudo apt-get install ppa-purge



then, you purge the ppa you installed previously. (in your case vlc-daily)



sudo ppa-purge ppa:videolan/master-daily



This downgrades the vlc version from the daily version of the ppa to the stable version in the ubuntu universe repo.
