I am using ubuntu 16.04.

I have used the commands

sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install

to install pepper flash but after the 2nd command I get this error 

2017-07-08 10:41:44 (397 KB/s) - ‘/tmp/pepperflashplugin-nonfree.eWBPA0Obal/google-chrome-stable_59.0.3071.115-1_amd64.deb’ saved [60833124/60833124]

mv: cannot stat 'unpackchrome/opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so': No such file or directory.

So how can I uninstall pepper-flashplugin in Ubuntu 16.04?

Seems like you are using an old version of the pepperflashplugin-nonfree package. The latest version in the Ubuntu 16.04 archive is 1.8.2ubuntu1.1. So upgrade to that:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Alternatively: Uninstall pepperflashplugin-nonfree and install adobe-flashplugin instead. That way Flash will be updated with the regular package updates.
