After every possible thing I could think of , I removed all KDE and reinstalled

It is possible, it's just a bit non-obvious how to do it. This test
case explains how to to it step by step. You already have a Btrfs
installation, so Setup steps 1 and 2 are done. You can go to the how
to test steps. The critical steps are 9 and 10. In particular 10 is
not obvious that it's creating a new subvolume for '/' and that's why
the Btrfs file system isn't reformatted, and hence the existing home
subvolume is retained, and just assigned to /home in the new
installation.

And yeah we need a better way to document this than a test case.
Yes I have seen another site with something similar, that's why I said "nearly
impossible", moot now , I don't have btrfs anymore and do not plan to use it in
the future unless things change. Can be useful for other so thanks for the info.

P.S. Sending this my spelling checker wanted to change btrfs to "barfs", enough
