E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'ampps*'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'ampps*'

You can't uninstall ampps using apt because it is installed using the Ampps-<version>-<arch>.run script. According to ampps wiki : AMPPS is installed on fixed path /usr/local/ampps.

To uninstall ampps:

sudo pkill ampps
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/ampps
