Hi,
     If we assume you only have one partition for Kubuntu, you could 
check the /tmp and /home/%userid%/tmp directories to see how much space 
is used in those and delete the contents, which may or may not release a 
fair amount of disk space. Linux is like windows, by default it doesn't 
clear temp directories, although having said this some distributions 
allocate /temp to a ram disk to simulate emptying at shutdown. If your 
Kubuntu is doing this there should be an entry in /etc/fstab assigning 
/tmp to tempfs.

regards,
Steve
