Er, this may be crazy, I installed all flavours of Ubuntu (Ubuntu Desktop, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Mythbuntu) onto my computer. Now I want to completely remove ALL to get back my Ubuntu Studio. Is this possible?
I would like a terminal solution like sudo apt-get remove …

You should be able to simply uninstall the Desktop Environments you no longer want and then run the command to install Ubuntu Studio, which will only install packages that may have been removed while clearing out the other Desktop Environments.
As is the case in any such situation, I would highly recommend backing up all of your data just in case what should work ends up not working as expected.
