At the login screen I have a bunch of desktop environment options like Openbox and Ubuntu. How do I go about removing the ones I don't want?
Sounds like you've been experimenting, which is good. Great way to learn new things!
Simple = "Add/Remove Applications"
Advanced = "Synaptic Package Manager"

I believe removing Desktop Managers is a bit more complex than simply using Synaptic. For example, Ubuntu is listed as an option on the login screen but the DM doesn't show up in Synaptic.
You can use Synaptic to remove them.
For the Ubuntu desktop option, uninstall 'Unity' packages. Unity is the name of Ubuntu's desktop.
I haven't used Openbox (yet) but I believe you can remove that by uninstalling 'Openbox' packages.
Openbox comes with LXDE (it's what LXDE uses by default) or KDE (it's an alternative to KDE Plasma), and I suppose it might come with some others.
Openbox is a windows manager, not the desktop environment. There are others, but if Openbox works, go with it.
Synaptic is the best way to add or remove desktops :)
I removed KDE/Plasma via synaptic but there is still a KDE/Plasma option at the login screen and when I login KDE still loads?
Did you use remove or complete remove? In synaptic you have both options, use the complete one.

If you find a kde-session or plasma-session package, try removing that.
