For future reference, try opening the Information panel.  You should see
information about files there, on the right hand side of the screen.

Yes, it shows that std.vcf_5 is already empty.

I'm confused, since there is more than one system being discussed in
this thread.  You seem to be using Gmane to post - and I've no idea
where Gmane would look for contacts.  KMail would definitely be looking
at ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc or at ~/.local/share/contacts if you have
migrated successfully.  Other than that, Recent Addresses are, IIRC, in
kmailrc.

That looks very odd.  *Something* is wrong, whether it is Krusader or
your file system generally.  You really are going to have to talk to
the *buntu lists.  Sorry.
