How to completely remove Elementary-Desktop from Ubuntu 14.04

Question

I installed Elementary OS Desktop on Ubuntu 14.04, and after that I removed it, but it's not completely removed.

I have changes in Unity, for example:

enter image description here

Install unity-tweak-tool with sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool, then run the application and change the theme. — A.B., Jun 01 '15 at 17:47

Run software-properties-gtk in Terminal, then make sure the theme's ppa's are all checked/enabled. Then do the following: 1) sudo apt-get install ppa-purge 2) sudo ppa-purge ppa:elementary-os/daily – Synergist Jun 01 '15 at 18:33
Which ppa ? I remove all elementary os ppa and remove elementary desktop! (Then do the following: ) what do you mean ? – Digicom Jun 01 '15 at 18:36
Run "gksu synaptic" in a Terminal, and enter your password. Once the Synaptic window opens, search for "elementary", then sort the packages so that the installed ones show up at the top, then uninstall them. – Synergist Jun 01 '15 at 18:38

elementry-desktop is a meta package - add the ppa back and use ppa-purge – Mateo Jun 01 '15 at 22:55
