remove apache 2.2 from Ubuntu 14.04?
HI,
I installed/built apache 2.2.x on a Ubuntu, but I want to completely remove Apache now, but having a hard time. There is an "apache2" folder in "/usr/local/apache2". Is it simple as just deleting this folder? If not, what steps can I take to do this?
I've attached an image/screenshot showing the steps I took to install it if that helps. I haven't configured or modified anything so I do not need to backup anything at all. I just want it completely gone if possible.

Not knowing how your system executes init scripts, there are two ways to remove the Apache startup and you should do them both:
sudo service apachectl stop
sudo update-rc.d apachectl remove
(These are strictly cosmetic to eliminate startup error messages. Apache cannot start now that the files are gone.)
There is no need to remove the Apache server pseudo-user and you might as well leave it alone in case you ever want to reinstall Apache.
