Looking at the associated packages, I'm concerned about breaking Nautilus if I try and uninstall Nautilus-Elementary. Can someone please advise me on the best way to remove it?

  1. Install ppa-purge Install ppa-purge.

    This package provides a bash shell script capable of automatically downgrading all packages in a given PPA back to the ubuntu versions.

  2. Run this command in a terminal:

    sudo ppa-purge ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa
