Can't do that from within KDE - "device in use"
However, last time I was in recovery mode I forced a fsck, which 
in turn required a further reboot and fsck.  On the basis that 
this might have fixed the problem I went into recovery mode 
again.
This time I _could_  umount /mnt/hda7 and _did_ at last find the 
incomplete version of my home directory occupying 2G.  
I deleted it!

Now we have:
/dev/hda2             11661852   5446140   5623316  50% /
/dev/hdb7             11258648   3901440   6785296  37% /home

Yeah!

It seems MC did not close the copied directory when it ran out of 
space, thus making it "invisible".  That IS a bug, IMHO.
