To expand on that, to quite plasma do

kquitapp plasma-deskto


In addition to the above command, the following command will delete
all downloaded plasmoids, plasmoid-specific settings,
plasmoid-specific content like comic engines, and probably downloaded
plasma themes as well (and perhaps some other stuff too).  If you want
to truly clean plasma, and are okay with basically starting over from
scratch, you can (completely at your own risk) also do:

rm -rf .kde4/share/apps/plasma*
rm .kde4/share/kde4/services/plasma-*
