Removing nginx?

I was wrong and I just want to uninstall and then reinstall a fresh copy to get started.

I tried

#sudo apt-get nginx uninstall

which didn't work the same as

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://nginxcp.com/nginxadmin2.3-stable.tar
tar xf nginxadmin2.3-stable.tar
cd publicnginx
./nginxinstaller uninstall

no luck can anyone help me please? running ubuntu 12.04 server version, long term support
