You can install using the following command , but be aware that Ubuntu and Budgie use different login screens and you may be presented with choice to use GDM during the installation. You can also download Ubuntu and try it from live usb or dvd. A clean installation could be a better choice than two desktops.

sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop

I have removed Unity, but not budgie and don't have a comprehensive list of commands to safely remove everything. Just removing the budgie-desktop meta package will leave many leftover packages.That's why a clean installation was suggested.
