no idea what exactly your problem was / is but F20 updated to F22 is 
nothing - my current userhome is from F9 and runs Plasma 5.4.3 / KF 
5.16.0 on F23 without purge all

widgets and some application settings got lost anyways by the switch to 
KDE5 but i don't see a reason to purge everything when before larger 
updates a backup of the userhome and in doubt "dnf downgrade" would work 
for a restore
