Taking off xubuntu-desktop package!!

[Aidenstar]

I recently downloaded the xubuntu-desktop package, to see if it worked better with my system specs. Which I found out it didn't. Now I want to take it off. Ordinarily I wouldn't care but I noticed that when I downloaded it, it reinstalled some of the programs I already had (ex. dictionary which I have 2 now) and some other one's that I don't want. How do I completely take it off my system including all apps and everything? Please help... I would really appreciate it. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04.

xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, uninstalling it won't remove anything. just use synaptic to uninstall all the stuff you don't want.

Is that the only way to do it? Because that would take a while...
