What distro/version and what other DE are you using?

You should be able to remove it through your package manager. Look for a "meta" package.

Note that removing a DE may sometimes remove much more than you expect. If it were me, I might just leave it in place and maybe edit the menu instead.

"linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/[question]" means Fedora 35, I think.
