How to completely remove nginx from ubuntu 13.04? [closed]

Question

I know this question has been asked earlier as well and I have gone through them but it does not solve my problem.

To remove nginx from system I executed following commands

sudo apt-get remove nginx

sudo apt-get purge nginx

Which actually uninstalled everything but when I do nginx -V it still returns following ...

nginx version: nginx/1.4.1 built by gcc 4.7.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-1ubuntu1) TLS SNI support enabled configure arguments: --prefix=/etc/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --lock-path=/var/run/nginx.lock --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/client_temp --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/proxy_temp --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/fastcgi_temp --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/uwsgi_temp --http-scgi-temp-path=/var/cache/nginx/scgi_temp --user=nginx --group=nginx --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_addition_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_flv_module --with-http_mp4_module --with-http_gunzip_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_random_index_module --with-http_secure_link_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --with-file-aio --with-ipv6 --with-http_spdy_module

Also ps aux | grep nginx is not showing any nginx service running.

Now I am not sure that if I have completely removed nginx or not? If not then how to remove it?

And dpkg -l | grep nginx returns following ...

ii nginx-common 1.2.6-1ubuntu3 all small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server - common files
ii nginx-full 1.2.6-1ubuntu3 i386 nginx web/proxy server (standard version)

EDIT: I installed it from the source.

As your output from dpkg -l shows, the package names involved are actually nginx-full and nginx-common, not just simply nginx. These are the packages that need to be removed.

To find the package that contains a particular program (e.g. nginx), you can always run dpkg -S $(which nginx).
