I have added

echo "deb http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian 311x main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list

Now I want to remove it and install Cassandra in another way.How to delete it?

apt software-sources cassandra

    Open /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list for editing in nano text editor and comment out the line that you want to disable by preceding it with a # character at the beginning of the line.

    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list

    Change this line: 

    deb http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian 311x main

    So that it looks like this: 

    # deb http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian 311x main

    Nano editor keyboard shortcuts
    Use the keyboard combination Ctrl + O and after that press Enter to save the file to its current location.
    Use the keyboard combination Ctrl + X to exit nano.

    Update the list of available software: 

    sudo apt update

  2. The easiest way is sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list .. this will remove all entries that's in the casandra.sources.list file, but it should only be the one you added.
