sudo apt purge tasksel sddm



will remove (including configuration files) tasksel & sddm packages. You may not need to purge/remove sddm if it was not installed.



sudo apt autoremove



will remove any unwanted dependencies that are no longer needed; ie. anything pulled in when you installed tasksel sddm or any other packages you have removed.
