Ubuntu gnome-shell purple design
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
$ sudo update-alternatives --config gdm3.css
[sudo] password for mkr:
There are 2 choices for the alternative gdm3.css (providing /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gdm3.css).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gnome-shell.css 15 auto mode
1 /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gnome-shell.css 15 manual mode
* 2 /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css 10 manual mode
Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 0
update-alternatives: using /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gnome-shell.css to provide /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gdm3.css (gdm3.css) in auto mode
$
If you want to apply the changes to unlock-screen also, this answer may help.
