Answer
Use the --remove flag, similar to how the PPA was added
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:whatever/ppa
As a safer alternative, you can install ppa-purge:
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
And then remove the PPA, downgrading gracefully packages it provided to packages provided by official repositories:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:whatever/ppa
Note that this will uninstall packages provided by the PPA, but not those provided by the official repositories. If you want to remove them, you should tell it to apt:
sudo apt-get purge package_name
You can also remove PPAs by deleting the .list files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory.
