Remove Zsh from Ubuntu 16.04

I installed zsh, but I realized I miss the basic/default terminal look. How can I get back to the default shell?

You can remove it completely with the following command.

sudo apt-get --purge remove zsh

If zsh was your default shell (see How to check which shell am I using? and What is default shell for terminal?), Do Not forget to change it to any other shell before purging, e.g. to bash like this with root access.

chsh -s /bin/bash YOUR_USERNAME

Or below with your login user.

chsh -s /bin/bash
