As you found out, removing collections of packages is more difficult 
than installing them.

Try running this:

    apt -o APT::Autoremove::SuggestsImportant=no autoremove --purge


Do check carefully the list of packages to be removed, in case it 
removes packages that are still needed.

If this doesn't work you might still have some LXDE related package 
installed. You can find them with

    apt list --installed '*lxde*'


When removing them you might need to add

    -o APT::Autoremove::SuggestsImportant=no

    and even

    -o APT::Autoremove::RecommendsImportant=no


Note: the second one in combination with 'autoremove' may remove much 
more than actually intended.

Kind regards,
Andrei
