I'm a noob to mint, but have been a Xubuntu user for a while. I used xubuntu because gnome/unity have become so irritating. Well, I downloaded the xfce disc for two reasons:
- To be safe in case I ever install it on a low-end PC with this disc
- Because I didn't know what Cinnamon was
So I installed Cinnamon with synaptic because I heard about how amazingly intuitive it is, but I want to remove xfce. How would I go about this?

In most cases the base files that comes with xfce4 are: xfconf, xfce4-utils, xfwm4, xfce4-session, thunar, xfdesktop4, exo-utils
So you can do
Then most of the package that were associated with these package become autoremovable so you can runCode: Select all
sudo apt-get purge xfconf xfce4-utils xfwm4 xfce4-session thunar xfdesktop4 exo-utils xfce4-panel xfce4-terminal
ORCode: Select all
sudo apt-get autoremove
Almost all xfce4 package depend upon libxfce4util-common. Just purge that one and you remove everything related to xfce
