Root Any easy way to unroot?

Rooted with motofail and I have 5.9.902. I don't care about roms and I never used one (only rooted for the ps3 controller) so how can I unroot my phone if needed?

Is there something easy like petes one click unroot?
 
Uprooting is simple. Install es file explorer. Turn on root mode and enable system partition read/write. Then delete /system/app/superuser.apk and /system/bin/su or xbin/su

Root is just one tiny file in the bin directory. Nothing mysterious.

I believe that rooting also installs busybox in /system/xbin/busybox.

You'd also want to restart after deleting those files.
