lightworks - Hollywood-strength editing for everyone  
$ sudo apt-get --purge remove "lightworks - Hollywood-strength editing for everyone"  
Reading package lists... Done  
Building dependency tree         
Reading state information... Done  
E: Unable to locate package lightworks - Hollywood-strength editing for everyone

Ubuntu Software Center can't find lightworks.

apt

    Syntax for removing a package with its configurations is:

    sudo apt-get purge [Package name]

    Or 

    sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [Package name]

    So run :

    sudo apt-get purge lightworks

    Or

    sudo apt-get --purge autoremove lightworks

    The section, Hollywood-strength editing for everyone is a description about software. Not the package name.

  2. I think you manually installed lightworks from .deb file.
