How can you remove Unity?

When I try to remove unity in Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center it says that it want to remove ubuntu-desktop too which depends on all desktop applications. But I don't want to remove the whole desktop but only Unity. Is there a solution?

ubuntu-desktop is a meta package and can be removed safely.
