Hi Justin,

Do you have  b acktrace? A window should pop up after Amarok crashes
that shows you more information about the crash, including a
copy-and-pastable backtrace.

In any case, you have deleted amarok's data files in
~/.kde4/share/apps/amarok but not it's config files, which are in
~/.kde4/share/config. So you can delete the following:

~/.kde4/share/config/amarokrc - general amarok settings
~/.kde4/share/config/amarok_homerc - which applets to load when opening amarok
