12.10elementaryppapurgeuninstall
I'm running ubuntu 12.10 and yesterday I installed elementary from ppa:elementary-os/daily. I later realized that elementary replaces the stock nautilus with another version that looks misplaced in Unity which is my main environment.
Any one know how to remove all elementary related packages?
I tried with ppa-purge which didn't work, so I tried to purge elementary* that still left most of the packages I think, at least the dock (plank) and the desktop Environment (Pantheon).
In a Terminal type:
sudo apt purge --remove lxde*; sudo apt autoremove -y
or
sudo apt purge --remove lubuntu-*; sudo apt autoremove -y
That'll do it.
or Open up the Software Center and look for the package lxde and uninstall it.
lxde is a meta-package, install it will install everything lxde, removing it will remove everything it installed.
ppa-purge is unneffective with that ppa, (elementary-os/daily) & the same with autoremove.
Open Synaptic,
click Settings, Repositories
Click Add and add back the ppa you used previously & update sources.
Click the Reload button in the upper left corner, then Origin. Click on the entry for that ppa/now similar (entry highlighted above). With shift+click highlight all the packages & mark for removal, and remove them.
Then remove the PPA from your software sources Under Settings, Repositories.

There's a way to remove all packages installed through a ppa and restore the original ones.
sudo apt-get install ppa-purgesudo ppa-purge ppa:elementary-os/dailyIf daily was installed
or
sudo ppa-purge ppa:/elementary-os/stableIf elementary os stable was installed.
That's it.
