How can I completely delete user config?

Asked by Lesley Walker on 2007-10-25

I'm trying to get my Kopete working again after various crashings. I have purged and reinstalled the package and it hasn't helped.

How can I completely get rid of my user configuration to let it start again as if completely new? I don't want to lose my entire .kde, just the parts that relate to Kopete.

$sudo apt-get purge kopete
that should clean as much as apt can do. There will most likely be some settings it won't remove in ~/.kde/, I don't know directly where kopete puts it's user specific stuff. I'm a bit rusty on kde but I'm certain it will be in your home folder somewhere.

Thanks, I assume that was covered when I used "mark for complete removal" in Synaptic. It's just the user-specific bits I'm looking for help with.

Harald Sitter (apachelogger) said : #3

rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/kopete*
rm -rf ~/.kde/share/config/kopete*

The first deletes all kopete caches, contactlist etc.
The second deletes the actual configurations.

I don't think I ever got it working properly but I gave up trying to use Kopete.

Can you help with this problem?
