Check that the UID of dhammaloka is the same as it was before.  Change
everything in ~dhammaloka to the new UID if not.  If you've done that
and it's ok, look in /tmp for things owned by the name dhammaloka but
with the old UID.  Those you can probably safely delete.  Some of these
types of programs create temporary files and unix domain sockets in
places like that.
