Please help me. I followed your instructions to install Audio Recorder
on https://launchpad.net/~audio-recorder/+archive/ubuntu/ppa.
I never had the "OLD PPA" of Audio-Recorder, so I did not run the
first step to remove it.

Here are the the terminal commands I ran:
sudo add-apt-repository  ppa:audio-recorder/ppa
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall audio-recorder
I pressed enter after each line, and after the last command, in
terminal window, there were muliple lines that ended with "404 File
not found". 
I did not save that text from the terminal window, so I can't show it
to you.

So the application failed to install, but a lot of files/ packages
(parts) did get downloaded. This has caused my system update manager
to now show errors when it automatically checks for updates. I am
waiting to hear from you before installing any system updates.

It was my  understanding that Ubuntu Applications will run on Mint - I
see now that  the info I read is wrong. Unless I did something wrong
through  ignorance. I am a newbie to Linux, and I only run Linux Mint
latest version 17.2  Cinnamon with the very latest kernel and all
system updates are current. My system has had no problems until now. I
have read a lot of  tutorials online and try to be very careful with
Linux "Do's and Don'ts" and I don't install a lot of  applications -
minimalist. But this is one application I really needed. 

Now I only want the audio-recorder (parts) permanently removed from my
system. Please tell me how to do it (remember I'm a Linux newbie).
Please give me the terminal commands to remove all the Audio-Recorder
files/ packages that were downloaded to my system. Thank you.

Maybe your webpage should warn Linux Mint users that these install
commands won't work for their system.
Maybe I will try to install this application again after I learn more
about Mint and Ubuntu differences.

Here is the error in my system update manager now:

Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
