How to remove other desktop environments?
I installed the XFCE and LXDE desktop environments just to test them out and see how they look. Now I want to remove them but I guess I'm not entering the right command in the Terminal. What's the correct command to remove these two completely? Thanks in advance!

Re: How to remove other desktop environments?
First, you need to list installed packages in terminal:
$ sh /usr/share/apps/q4os_system/bin/altde_util.sh --list-packages XFCE
$ sh /usr/share/apps/q4os_system/bin/altde_util.sh --list-packages LXDE
Remove listed packages this way:
$ sudo apt-get autoremove <listed_packages>

Just a word of warning, this will list q4os-network-manager, gksu, desktop-base and probably a few others that you might not want to remove...

Why not fresh install? It would help too, I suppose.
