Not in home directory. Package managers do not touch files in home
directory, ever.

@"M.":
KDE applications used to keep files in dedicated directory (~/.kde on
Debian, ~/.kde4 on some other distros), but now they are XDG-compliant
and keep their stuff in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, which defaults to ~/.config .
The problem is, there is no subdirectory for KDE-related stuff. You
have to manually select directories which you think you won't need
anymore and remove them.

You might also want to check out ~/.local and ~/.cache (this one can be
safely removed - it's cache after all).
