How do i remove elementary os from debian 9 ? - PRPS - Feb 18, 2018

I tried using sudo apt-get purge to remove it but it always end with E:\ location unable to be found or something of that sort and oddly enough i have a 20gb partition but im filling up my hard drive fairly quick and im trying to figure out why.

Those are both distributions. Elementary OS isn't installed on Debian, it isn't a package. Do you mean the desktop environment?

Yeah i had the pantheon desktop environment installed i just want to get rid of all the resources because when you uninstall it apparently most of the files that come along with it dont actually uninstall.
