How do I remove Ubuntu gnome-shell theme and restore the original one? I already tried sudo update-alternatives --config gdm3.css
(gnome-shell.css). However, this only done like 75% work done. The login screen is now in default gray colors as I wanted but when I suspend my computer login screen is purple again. I also see purple corners when gnome-shell is loading.
if i understood your question correctly, you want to go back to default theme.. you can use the same command again and select the number
0
sudo update-alternatives --config gdm3.css
If you want to apply the changes to unlock-screen also, this answer may help.

Edit: as per the comments, you have manually deleted the folder
Yaru
to installyaru-theme
package run the below command,sudo apt install yaru-theme-gnome-shell
It says this is already the newest version, may be because we have manually deleted the folder
Yaru
so,
sudo apt purge yaru-theme-gnome-shell
Please note that the command
sudo apt purge yaru-theme-gnome-shell
will also remove ubuntu-desktop* and ubuntu-session* along with yaru-theme-gnome-shell*Once we continue with Yes,
we need to again install ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-session packages..
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-session
You can hack at the CSS directly too.
I wrote a how-to on removing purple from the Ubuntu theme.

And change wallpaper for lock screen.
