If you don't care about your KDE desktop, just whack your ~/.kde
directory. That'll lose ALL of your KDE settings, but they'll all get
reset to defaults next time you log in with KDE.
If you just want to get rid of the theme, I think
~/.kde/share/config/kwinicewmrc is the config file that stores your
current theme. There are a lot of config files with KDE, so there may
be other places it's hiding, like in window decorations and such. You
may have to hunt around if you don't want to just toast everything.
(GNOME, too, has a lot of config files for that matter, except GNOME
likes to pretend its windows and have a binary "registry" that makes it
a serious PIA to do anything at all with it when it breaks except trash
it all and start over... Gosh I'm just in a complainy mood today, huh?)
