Removing GNOME packages from KDE install
(lemm.ee)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It shouldn't but I'm hesitant to say it won't. Back up all the things you don't want to lose, this is not a risk free maneuver. However in my limited experience it was the opposite - it'll remove the applications, but you will still have now-useless config files from the removed environment in place taking up space.
