how do I fix apt-file? - not working and added extra repos

I was looking for a way to find the contents of an apt package and I found a post that advised to use apt-file. I installed using: sudo apt install apt-file sudo apt-file update This update took ages and some of the packages are quite large. Now even when I use sudo apt update there seems to be additional repos that were added when I installed apt-file.

$ sudo apt update

48 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

I think from Get:13 to Get:26 are new and were added when I installed apt-file. And some of them are quite large (ie. 128Mb). I was instructed to use apt-file as follows: sudo apt-file list freecad but when I run that command I get the message:

$ apt-file list freecad
Finding relevant cache files to search ...E: The cache is empty. You need to run "apt-file update" first.

even after I just did an update with sudo apt-file update How do I undo all of this? I don't really care about getting apt-file working. I would be happy just removing it and getting rid of these extra repos. I'm using PopOS 22.04 LTS Edit:
