 When removing certain packages, for instance Thunderbird, `apt` and `dnf` will attempt to remove many packages required by qubes for the template to function correctly under qubes.
 
 As an example from a terminal in a TemplateVM:

 Replace package-names with actual `qubes-*` and `salt-*` packages you'd like to retain. 
 
 For example, still in your TemplateVM terminal:

 ### Fedora
 In your TemplateVM terminal, run:
-```shell_session $ dnf remove --noautoremove package-name```

 ## Recovering A TemplateVM which you've already removed needed qubes-* packages
 If you've already removed packages, run `apt autoremove` and restarted your VM you've lost passwordless sudo access. 
 You can login as root, open a terminal in dom0 and run: 
-```shell_session $ qvm-run -u root vmname xterm```
+```shell_session
+$ qvm-run -u root vmname xterm
+```
 This will open an xterm terminal in the TemplateVM named `vmname`
 
 Once you're logged in as root, reinstall these packages & their dependencies: 
 
 ### Debian
