Genrally I would do (replace cinnamon with the other desktop enviroments, e.g. kde4):

sudo apt-get remove cinnamon

then:

sudo apt-get autoremove

Go to https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/apt-get.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto for more info.

    I have Cinnamon and many more. How can I remove them and leave just Ubuntu?

      How did you install those desktop environments? Please include that in your question. Then we can provide answers how to undo that. And perhaps you mean "Unity" instead of Ubuntu in this context.

      @gertvdijk Via command line, I didn't really remember the exact command, but it was like 1-2 lines only.
