But now when i need to install nginx again using Digitalocean tutorial it's installed but at the time of start I keeps me giving error like below

You need to define the events{} block in your nginx.conf. Here is a full working example of an nginx.conf file: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/full

Vultr installation didn't use apt, so it was not uninstalled with sudo apt-get autoremove, neither the /etc/init.d/nginx file was removed.

To remove the /etc/init.d/nginx:

sudo service nginx stop
sudo update-rc.d nginx remove
sudo rm /etc/init.d/nginx
sudo rm `which nginx`

Nginx doesn't have a make uninstall option, and I don't know exactly where vultr files were placed, but the Digital Ocean install (which uses apt) will probably ask to overwrite the configuration files if they are in the same location.

If you want to make sure you have removed all vultr nginx files before installing Digital Ocean, try running the make install again on the vultr src and manually removing all files it listed as updated.
