Yesterday I installed cinnamon and nemo but didn't like it (don't ask me why).
I am using unity now and I has no reason to remove cinnamon but now when I launch nautilus from terminal, I get this error:
Initializing nautilus-dropbox 1.4.0
Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare'
returned error 255: info_fn: file /var/lib/samba/usershares/files is not a
well formed usershare file.
info_fn: Error was Path is not a directory.
This is the first time I am seeing this error, and I think removing cinnamon & nemo will solve the problem (But I want to remove it anyway).
So, sudo apt-get autoremove cinnamon nemo shows that only ~7MB space will be freed, while ~70MB was downloaded. Where's the rest of space? And how do I solve that nautilus problem?

So to remove them you must remove them one by one checking that no other packages has explicit dependency of them. Non explicit dependencies are Recomends and Suggests.
About the error it might be that you (or Cinnamon/Nemo) have shared a directory that it couldn't share and now you are seeing this "error". The solution is find what directory is this renaming it or just drop the sharing as stated here.
