Depending on how you did it, it's entirely likely the two are both
still there, since ubuntu and kubuntu are identical save for the window
manager (Gnome Vs. KDE).

What makes you think there are two versions of ubuntu? It's quite
likely there are two kernels, since when an apt-get upgrade calls for a
kernel upgrade, the old one is left in case the new one breaks
something.
