Missing and leftover desktop manager sessions

After installing the various *ubuntu*-desktop packages, I had too many possible sessions, so I uninstalled all but the default (xubuntu-desktop in this case). However, the sessions had not yet gone from the gdm or lightdm desktop environment list, so I deleted the excess ones from /usr/share/xsessions/.



Question 1: In /usr/share/xsessions/, I only have xfce.desktop and xubuntu.desktop, while in the DE list I have the above plus GNOME and Ubuntu on Wayland. How can I get rid of these?



Question 2: If I reinstall, say, kubuntu-desktop (which I would like try out), Kubuntu Session does not reappear in the DE list. How do I make these show again?



Edit: This also happens in lightdm
