      That’s the way. However, I’d like to add that when I used Debian, I regularly got leftovers after uninstalling things, especially when removing big things work lots of dependencies. So expect some dependencies to remain.

    By uninstalling the corresponding packages, I guess … Don’t know in detail how Debian works nowadays, but there will likely a meta package or a package group you can remove to remove Xfce with all dependencies

    Open up Synaptic, search up all the packages that say stuff about XFCE, mark them for removal, and then apply all the changes.

    You can run sudo apt purge xfce4 (if you wan to remove all of its components and dependencies) or sudo apt remove xfce4. <br> If you don’t have an other DE installed, I suggest you find one and do it form the other DE, because if you don’t, you’re gonna end up without a graphical environement, and you would have to do everything frop the terminal.
