Delete unwanted DE

[melp57]

I'm trying out different DE, is there a way to delete ones I don't use?

"man tasksel"

If and only if your DE is in tasksel's list of options.   Note: I am not saying it is the solution or a solution - just an option to investigate.


What is the DE and how was it installed?  Via  apt? Via tasksel when computer set up, ...

Joey Hess has written some excellent code that stands the test of time, as tasksel has.

Peace out.

Installed via apt. Cinnamon is the DE I installed. No idea what man tasksel is, I'll investigate. Thanks!

man is program that outputs  what you read to learn about other programs via section -  Name, Synopsis, Description, Options, See Also, Files and Author.  It is a very integral part of the Linux ecosystem.  To learn about man type "man man" in a terminal.  To learn about tasksel type "man tasksel" in a terminal.

tasksel - a user interface for installing tasks

it has been a part of all Debian installs for decades. 

There are probably ways to remove with a GUI. 
Peace out.
