I setup a nginx server, but when I stop or uninstall it, always keeps showing the home page default. Like being in cache. Even with the Droplet off, if you enter the ip browser opens the default page.
I would stop when the server does not show this page

Hello,
Technically speaking once the Droplet is off or deleted, you should no longer be able to access the IP over HTTP as there is no webservice available to handle the traffic.
Can you verify that you’ve stopped the correct Droplet and that there is no typo in the IP that you are visiting?
Additionally, in case that you have a domain name and you want to disable the Nginx default page, you can do removing the index.html file from the /var/www/html directory and also adding a new server block and deleting the default one as described here:
Best,
Bobby
