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.

Hi, you can disable like this:
a2dissite 000-default-le-ssl.conf
and
service apache2 reload
Hope it helps.
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.
sudo certbot delete
Then type the index number of the domain name’s certificate you wanna delete and press enter
sudo certbot delete --cert-name example.com
Thank you. This worked for me
