I tried to remove KDE from my system.
When I run dpkg -r kdebase-bin, it says kdebase-data depends on it. So how can I remove all the packages related to KDE?

Usually one uses a higher-level utility instead of dpkg. You can use apt-get to remove a package and all its dependencies.

apt-get remove <package>
