I’m primarily a Gnome and Unity user. However, from time to time I give KDE a shot to see if I can really work with it. Ever since moving to Fedora 25, I’ve been wanting to try out the latest KDE 5.x because of its good reviews (read stability). While I installed KDE5 with considerable ease on top of Fedora Gnome, I completely forgot that the last KDE I tried was, way long back, i.e. KDE4.<\/p>\n
So, when I logged into KDE, it looked absolutely horrendous. The only way to fix this was to clean out all the old KDE configs. I practically deleted all the old config and cache files which were related to KDE.<\/p>\n
Best way to clean up is to login to your Gnome profile ( if you have that installed) and delete the KDE folders via Files file manager or the terminal. If, however, you don’t have Gnome installed, drop to a terminal screen before you login and delete the files and folders of anything related to KDE.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong> don’t try to delete the KDE folders when you’re logged into KDE , it will yield unsatisfactory results.<\/em><\/p>\n Below are the steps I took to clean up I’m primarily a Gnome and Unity user.
