I recently installed Linux Cinnamon 18.2 Sonya and tested the Yandex and Vivaldi browsers. I did not like and uninstalled these two browsers, however when I give the command:

sudo apt-get update

It appears in the terminal:

Ign:7 http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb stable InRelease                      
Obter:8 http://repo.yandex.ru/yandex-browser/deb beta InRelease [4.322 B]      
Atingido:9 http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb stable Release

If I have already uninstalled these two browsers, why do these links appear?

Removing repositories

When you uninstall a program it does not remove the repository from the registry, this should be done with a separate command, which is:

sudo add-apt-repository [repositório] --remove

Why were they still in your registry

These links are repositories, and "repository is a place on the internet or even in local media that have software packages"

To remove you must have run the command:

sudo apt-get remove [programa]

This command is the opposite of the install command, but it does not remove the repositories

Probably when you started installing the program you ran some commands similar to these:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
wget -q -O - http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

In these two last ones you are adding these repositories to your list of repositories and to remove you must execute the command that I exemplified up there
