Has Xubuntu desktop ever worked in your case? Do you want to remove or repair it? The term restore is a bit unclear in this context.

If you want to revert back to Gnome, then you should first remove XFCE desktop then reinstall Gnome desktop.
Removing XFCE:
sudo apt-get purge xfce4
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
reinstalling Gnome desktop:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-shell
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

That won't result in anything useful, becausexubuntu-desktopis just a meta-package andxfce4is (most likely) already installed.

So your proposal would remove the Xubuntu desktop, while OP is asking how to restore it. How does that fit? I would like to point out again, that removing the packagexubuntu-desktopdoes not remove the Xubuntu desktop environment, because it's just a meta-package depending on the actual packages that make out the desktop environment.
