    Press Alt+Ctrl+F1 at login screen and log in at command prompt. Rename .kde folder in your /home folder. Log out and press Alt+Ctrl+F7 to switch back to GUI.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    In the command line type

    cd /home
    then type

    ls
    to see a list of the folders there.

    Then type

    mv oldfilename newfilename

    if it gives you any permission denied messages after any of those, type sudo before the command.
