      Hello out there!

      Can someone please tell me how to remove LXDE Desktop??? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

      I am running Retropie 4.2 with Emulation Station. I installed it from the Retropie menu, but there is no option to remove it in the Retropie settings. I have already tried the command below, but once I log back in Emulation Station, it is still there and pulls up like it never left!

      I tried:

      sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove lxde

      Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

        Try to run these commands separately:

        sudo apt-get remove --purge lxde*

        sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

        sudo apt-get autoremove

        reboot
