I've read the thread so far, with lots of good suggestions. Just a
reminded that the old ~/.kde file has lots of data (sometimes) that
you may not want to miss. For instance, Konversation used to store
logs in there, and Amarok stored its database, playlists, podcast
files, etc. So if you want to keep that stuff, dig into your
~/home/yourname/.kde file.

These days, in Plasma 5 times, the config files go into ~/.config and
~/.local, and Konvi logs go into ~/.logs . Many of us are still
running a few KDE4 applications though, such as Amarok.

Good on you for doing your backups!
