I have recently upgraded to Plasma 6. It’s has been riddled with issues. One major issue is that when I let the PC sit for a while, the screen turns off (as it should), then the pc just either freezes indefinitely, or wakes up, but nothing is responsive. I can’t even enter my password to log in. For now, I have disabled auto suspend and turn off screen and all that. I suspend it manually when I am done working. I really don’t want to reinstall, as I have had this set up for over a year and I will need to do a ton of work to get it back working. I do have root and home partitions separated, and I can reinstall, but if I absolutely had to. Is there anything I can do to remove all of plasma 5 leftover things without breaking things? Is there such thing as resetting plasma to its defaults without reinstalling? PS. I have submitted several bug reports and I will get back at it when I have time

    In the /home directory, there should be a hidden directory called .kde which mostly contains KDE settings for your user. Rename it and check. A new one might get created with default settings during next login.

    Caution: I am no expert and consider all backup options before doing this because it may force you to re-install.

    Edit 1: based on additional searching due to comment below, it was ~/.config for KDE 5. I have no idea of what it is for KDE 6. May be you will have to go through source code to find.

        Then what does it actually use? Is there a way to help the person asking the question?

          It’s unfortunately a bit of a mess. There’s all kinds of files for different KDE applications in ~/.config/, with no common folder for all of them…
