From the terminal, run this command:

sudo apt-get purge cinelerra\*

This will completely remove (uninstall) the package.

Also, remove the apt repository if you don't want it to download the repository information (package lists and the likes). It'll probably show up in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, and start or contain cinelerra-ppa in its filename. Once you find that, you may want to remove that file (with sudo rm [filename]) – The Lord of Time Aug 1 '12 at 15:24

You should cd to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ then do an ls, and the PPAs will be listed, then do a sudo rm [filename_of_cinelerra] – Peachy Aug 1 '12 at 15:45
