Vanilla KDE alongside the dragonized one

Hi - I am new around here and definitely an almost complete Newb. I’ve been trying to do my homework to figure out how to get to a vanilla plasma desktop from dragonized, but any explanations I have found have been either vague or above my knowledge level. I am not opposed to learning as I go, but it takes time.

The recommendation to “delete all the config files and let plasma recreate them” sounds like exactly the kind of thing I can handle at my skill level with a bit more information - How do I identify the files in question? Do I need to run any kind of process post-delete to initiate the plasma recreation or will a reboot get the job done?

I apologize in advance if this is considered hijacking the thread or if it’s recommended to start a new thread. I appreciate the resources here and the helpfulness exhibited by the community.

Thanks!

Edit - I found a link to https://gitlab.com/garuda-linux/themes-and-settings/settings/garuda-dr460nized/-/tree/master/etc/skel that appear to be the setting files in question. Is this correct? If so, would I only delete the files listed there or everything in the skel folder? And again, once deleted, will a simple reboot get me back to a vanilla environment or do I need to run a process?

Another edit: I found this: “Find and remove all the relevant files and folders from your home directory.” So I believe the files to be deleted are corresponding files to the above page in my home directory.
