Answer 1

sudo apt remove --purge apache2 

Should uninstall apache. Next you could do an autoremove to remove not used packages.

Answer 2

If you have already tried the below command, i suggest you to check if there is any configuration file exist related to apache

sudo apt-get purge apache2 apache2-utils apache2.2-bin apache2-common

sudo apt-get autoremove

try using the below command

** whereis apache2**

Incase if you find any directory belongs to apache..remove it manually
