    Removes all but config files.

    sudo apt-get remove nginx nginx-common

    Removes everything.

    sudo apt-get purge nginx nginx-common

    After using any of the above commands, use this in order to remove dependencies used by nginx which are no longer required.

    sudo apt-get autoremove

  2. Uninstall everything and install once again

sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
