I followed the DigitalOcean tutorial on installing Let’s Encrypt available here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-16-04 but now I would like to completely remove it from my server as I am having issues with form submissions over SSL.
How can I completely remove Let’s Encrypt?
Thank you.

- This command blow offers an index from which you can select the domain name to delete:
sudo certbot delete
Then type the index number of the domain name’s certificate you wanna delete and press enter
- If the domain name does not appear in the index, type the command below:
sudo certbot delete --cert-name example.com
You would need to modify your apache configuration files to remove your https entry and any reference to your certificate files. Letsencrypt is installed under /opt/letsencrypt when following our tutorials so you can also remove that directory to delete the letsencrypt tools.
