Remove Zsh from Ubuntu 16.04
I installed zsh, but I realized I miss the basic/default terminal look. How can I get back to the default shell?
software-uninstall zsh

Yes, you need to configure it for sure. I use these 2 files bodhizazen.com/Tutorials/zshrc and bodhizazen.com/Tutorials/envrc (save them as ~/.zshrc and ~/.envrc )

You can remove it completely with the following command.
sudo apt-get --purge remove zsh
If zsh was your default shell (see How to check which shell am I using? and What is default shell for terminal?), Do Not forget to change it to any other shell before purging, e.g. to bash like this with root access.
chsh -s /bin/bash YOUR_USERNAME
Or below with your login user.
chsh -s /bin/bash
