Can I remove openbox if I want to keep lxde?

Question

In the user greeting session, I have 'ubuntu', 'lxde' and 'openbox'. I don't know why I have openbox, so can I remove it by typing:

 sudo apt purge --autoremove openbox

Does this command affect my lxde desktop environment?

From Openbox:

Desktop Environment, developed by "PCMan" in Taiwan, aimed at lean elegant code and usable design. Uses Openbox as the Window Manager, with lightweight modular components in addition.

So, if you want to keep LXDE, you cannot remove openbox.
