NginX still running when uninstalled it

I have tried to uninstall NGinX from my Ubuntu using following command:

 sudo apt-get remove nginx-core nginx-full nginx-light nginx-extras nginx-common

I have used below command as well

 sudo apt-get remove --purge nginx*

And still see below screen when I check NginX processes running.

What is happening??

Remove the configuration files, and additionally, it will list packages available in repositories that matched the regex “nginx*” (these packages are just listed and aren’t installed).

sudo apt-get remove --purge nginx*

But Be Carefull All important files will get also removed.

This happened to me once as well.

To fix this you will want to disable the systemd boot process from starting.

sudo systemctl disable nginx

That way on next reboot it shouldn't start again.

Try to clear the web browser cache. It works for me.
