Script or command to find and remove all KDE traces from /usr/bin/

Let's say that I'm in a hurry so I can't do this on my own at the moment, which btw is the way I like to do things in Linux.

Scenario;

1. Find everything that belongs to KDE in /usr/bin/
2. Show me what it is
3. (Give me an option to) delete it

A note about what did not remove mentioned;

Code:

apt-get remove kde --purge
apt-get autoremove

OK, I need to update this one.

apt-get did do the job right, it's that I've forgotten that Akonadi is an extensible cross-desktop Personal Information Management (PIM) storage service (though it comes from KDE camp), so it wasn't removed automagically. I had SMPlayer installed too, which uses some things like and from KDE I believe, so search for KDE in Synaptic, mark everything what you don't want for complete removal > Done. No more KDE in /usr/bin/ (in one way or another).

Really, apt-get is a piece of work.

Synaptic too!
