apt-get --purge remove kdelibs(3|4)

This should remove and purge all KDE-Packages, meaning it also removes
the stuff that kde installs under /etc. Your personal settings are
stored in $HOME/.kde, which is not touched, you have to remove it
yourself. After that install with a normal:
apt-get install kdelibs(3|4) kdebase kdenetwork kdepim ...

 Reading man apt-get I'm still not sure how to re-install kde.  I want the
 old info erased, then install --not just updated.

First apt-get --purge remove the kde packages and then issue rm -r 
~/.kde{,2}. That should clean up all the KDE configuration data.

Thanks, Andreas. I figured there had to be an easy way to this, as there is 
installing with apt-get.
