How to completely remove unneeded Desktop Environments

Asked by Edmond Condillac

My desktop environments have increased to nearly 8 login possibilities. Of these, only LXDE is needed. The others are various GNOME(classic, Openbox) KDE(Plasma and Openbox) and Lubuntu(Notebook).
It would be most appreciated if these extra environments could be uninstalled, please.

sudo apt-get --purge remove gnome-panel

sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep kde | awk {'print $2'}`

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

Should do it.
