Usare "sudo apt autoremove" per rimuoverli.
[/code]

The italian words means: These packages are automated installed and now are not requested use "sudo apt autoremove" to remove all

I am scared to break Xfce

[nevertheless]

Many people say it's safe. Googling about it suggests that's the majority view. But, my system (a different distro a long time ago) broke when I did that. I've read others say they've had the same experience. It sounds like "it depends." To me, I wouldn't do it unless there was a reason to do it (space reclamation?) or if I wouldn't mind reinstalling a new system anyway (it's been a long time of upgrading? Maybe a new install would be better, but I can't get motivated to do it? Maybe autoremove would be the kick I need? Sure, I'd do that.). Otherwise, I'd get an image copy that can be easily restored. Or, just not do it. (I never do it after that experience a long time ago).
