You can run sudo apt purge xfce4 (if you wan to remove all of its components and dependencies) or sudo apt remove xfce4. <br> If you don't have an other DE installed, I suggest you find one and do it form the other DE, because if you don't, you're gonna end up without a graphical environement, and you would have to do everything frop the terminal.

sudo

debian :D

What?

default debian config isn't enabling sudo for created users

(and that's a good choice imo)

but you can of course use "su -" and just switch to root propperly

if you do not provide a root password during install, the default user is in sudoer.

I know.

but since there's that field in the install wizard, asking you for that password, I'd guess most people will provide one.m?
