So I downloaded the script and it seems that all it does is insert its own repository URL into your sources list and then uses the apt-get package manager to install it.
To remove, it is really simple, just open up a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get remove heroku-toolbelt
Also, as a word of warning, try not to use scripts written by others to install ...

To uninstall Ubuntu (if you installed it using Wubi), simply go into Programs and Features from Control Panel in Windows 7, look for Ubuntu and uninstall it, just like you would uninstall any program in Windows (see image below). It will not delete the partition, it will only delete the files that it created on that partition.
If this did not work, or for ...

I'm sure there are several ways to completely wipe a hard disk. But, what you can do is download the GParted Live CD/USB from here. Burn it to a disc or make a bootable USB, then boot it up. In GParted, simply right click and delete all the partitions in the hard disk, and apply. If you can't right click and delete, first try to right click and unmount, and ...

Personally I think the best method is to write all zeros to the drive using dd.
Boot the live CD and
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M
Change /dev/sda to your hard drive.
The advantage of dd is that it overwrites your data as well as the MBR.
Your other option would be scrub
scrub -p dod /dev/sda

scrub is faster ...

To me it sounds like you're seeing the key-interrupt screen at the bottom (person / key prompt that allows a more advanced user to do more involved installations).
I would recommend you look, instead, at a live-CD/live-DVD option as I did. On a USB install, I had all kinds of issues. Once I used a DVD, it was no longer a problem and I've been loving 13.04 ...

Yes all your files are completely safe when you upgrade, only the Ubuntu system files will change.
But make a backup of your important files so you don't lose them if the upgrade fails. You should always have your important files backup, it doesn't matter if it's on a cloud storage, usb-stick or on a hard drive just back it up somewhere.

Use a combination of ppa-purge and reinstallation. Disclaimer: I have not tested this in any way possibly imaginable.
Step 1: Preparation
First install the ppa-purge tool: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge or click here: ppa-purge
Step 2: Remove software
Now run:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:phablet-team/desktop-deps
sudo ppa-purge ppa:phablet-team/desktop-deps

You should use GParted to delete the partition(s) for Fedora.
If you're currently using the Fedora bootloader (if you installed Ubuntu afterwards, you're probably not), then you may need to boot a live cd to re-install grub afterwards (and it's a good idea to keep one handy always anyway).

It would not be safe to remove AppArmor in the sense of the word. You would be disabling a security system designed to be in place for protecting you. So it would indeed make you less safe. What you want to know is: yes you can remove it without side-effects but lessen that system's security with it.
But the changes to apparmor are quite minimal, if you ...

Hm. Deleting Ubuntu partitions should not be your priority right now. Try to reinstall it so you can get access to both Windows and Ubuntu. BTW, do you have some sort of RAID, why do you have two D: partitions ? And where did you install Ubuntu, you don't seem to have any partition big enough ?

To uninstall it, open a Terminal with alt+t or by searching for "Terminal" in Finder. Then run:
sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable
and enter your password when prompted.
You'll need to add Chrome to your repo sources. Run the following in the terminal:
Add Chrome to your sources list:
echo deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main ...

Maybe you should see this link; it has good instruction except perhaps the grub update.
Or, more safely, open the Ubuntu Software Center then search for Linux Kernel Image. Make sure to show the technical terms (click on "Show Technical Terms" located on the lower left of the screen).
Then update grub with the command:
user#: sudo update-grub
(# - root ...

I don't know if you got this solved by now or not, but I think your problem is lxde-core is itself a meta package. To reverse
apt-get install lxde
you need to
apt-get remove lxde gpicview leafpad lxappearance lxde-core lxde-common lxinput lxmusic lxpanel lxsession lxsession-edit lxshortcut lxterminal openbox-themes openbox pcmanfm xarchiver ...

The KDE desktop meta-package is in the Ubuntu Universe repository as kubuntu-desktop.
If you want to remove KDE and get back to Ubuntu's pseudo-original state, open up your terminal and run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
This will remove KDE from your system, and reinstall Unity. You will not ...
