Back up and restore KDE
This page was last updated on July 25, 2011.
If you want to play around with your Desktop’s look or feel, you’ll need to back up some settings so you can restore them when you’re finished.
Locate the settings
The KDE Desktop settings are stored in three places:
- The ~/.kde folder
- The ~/.qt folder
- The ~/.kderc file
Back these two directories and one file up to a safe place on your computer and play around with your KDE settings to your heart’s content.
Restore the settings
When finished, you can restore the directories and the file and all will be as it was before you began.
Obligatory Happy Ending
And they all lived happily ever after. The end.
