How Do I Remove Unused DEs?

[dniMretsaM]

How can I remove an unused desktop? I am currently running Unity 2D. I can't run 3D, so I would like to remove it. Also, I want to try out other desktops so I will want to remove those (or Unity, depending on which I like better). I read somewhere that just doing sudo apt-get remove kde won't actually remove the entire desktop, so what else should I do.

To pay with different Desktop Environments:

Unity 3D is part of the default Ubuntu desktop, so you probably shouldn't remove it. You can probably remove compiz (assuming it will not also remove something else that is important), but other than that, Unity 2D and 3D use the same components.

Big thanks for the link! It even answered some of my other questions. Marking as solved.
