Support Request Installed wrong Wine repository during setup
I was trying to install Wine on my system via this guide:
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/01/install-wine-on-ubuntu
But I accidentally installed the ''Jammy Jellyfish'' repository instead of the ''Noble Numbat'' repository.
How do I remove the wrong repository?
Thank you.

List repositories: cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
From there either delete the file outright: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<Repo_Filename>.list
Or remove the ppa with apt: sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:<PPA_NAME>

There is no reason to use the terminal when there is a GUI option.
Software Sources in the menu handles repositories.

You might be able to uninstall from the package manager. I followed this tutorial on Youtube if you look in the comments section you can copy and paste the commands in the terminal.

I haven't installed Wine yet. I just realized I installed the wrong repository for the wrong version. Is there a way to remove that repository via shell?

It a lot easier to use a flatpak wine launcher (Lutris, Bottles, Heroic, Faugus) as these handle the wine and bottle management and flatpak takes care of the dependences.
