Re: were is the temp files?

When you have questions about an application you should start with:

$ man nameofapplication

To install stuff in Kubuntu you use apt-get even though you might only see a front-end like Adept or Synaptic.
So to know more about apt-get you issue the command:

$ man apt-get

When all that's too technical you can use google, good answers are here:

(I do assume you know Ubuntu is Debian based)

A straight answer to your initial question would be in section 3.6:
"Removing unused package files: apt-get clean and autoclean"

Success with man and google

Just in case you don't know how to use those commands (I didn't for a while at first), open a console (Konsole) and enter the following command:

sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean

- the "&&" symbol simply combines multiple commands into one; essentially, you're running

sudo apt-get clean

and

sudo apt-get autoclean

Success with man and google

That's the truth Learn to use them both, they will prove to be some of your most valuable allies.

Eh, you might be interested in what those commands actually do...

"apt-get clean" removes all cached packages (packages that were saved during installation so you don't have to re-download them later). "apt-get autoclean" only removes the packages that you can't get any more (e.g. disabled repo, older package).

Perhaps you meant "apt-get autoremove"?

Temp files? Dunno about that, but try ~/.armyops250 (View > Show hidden files, if necessary). Also try where you installed the game.
