Plasma continuously stops responding even after restarting.

Hello,

I am facing this really annoying problem after my /home dir ran out of
space. I have cleared the space now (and have 19 GB free) but the problem
remains:

My desktop and taskbar stop responding in like intervals of 5 minutes.

I restart them using:

killall plasmashell
kstart plasmashell

but again in sometime plasma stops responding. Windows, alt+tab, cursor,
amarok's music, all work like nothing happened.

Then, if I don't restart plasma in few minutes, the entire desktop becomes
unresponsive- only the cursor moves and the screen is frozen. Nothing
works, can't even open yakuake to enter commands. I can only switch to a
different non UI session (ctrl+alt+F1).
At this point, I reboot by going into tty1.

Please advise on how shall I investigate the problem. Right now I can't
think of anything other than reinstalling the OS.

Regards,
Vedant.
