now I've done it

[Scott]

Now i've done it. I lost everything but windoze, don't ask why or how I could kick myself for being stupid. Reload Kubuntu, starting setting it up, downloading packages and things. I now can't login get message that conversation with kde failed. How can I reset my password? I think I will have to boot in recovery and then get to root. Don't know what to do after that?

I also I'm getting a message that my disk is full. I have 27G for Kubuntu +16G for storage. Also have 5G ./ and 1G swap. How can that be?

You can change a user password in recovery mode (logged in as root) with:

passwd <USERNAME>

replace <USERNAME> with your actual username

One possibility is that you haven't cleaned your package cache in a long while (or you have done lots of updates recently).
You can clean cached packages with:

sudo apt-get autoclean

deletes obsolete packages (that are usually useless to have around)
or

sudo apt-get clean

deletes all cached packages

Thanks kubicle: This is a new install, Ithink it may have been something when I installed universe packages. See what I can do.
