Have you looked in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ directory. There are a bunch of files in there, in one of them you may find a proxy setting. I recall setting up proxying for some of my servers here by adding a line in one of those files (although I now use apt-cache for that job). Doing the reverse should just be a case of removing the line containing the proxy and running 'apt-get update'.
