You usually have to do something with the X server or the window
manager for the ~/.Xdefaults file to take effect or to remove its
effects after removing the file. The surest way is to log out and
log back in. The window manager I used to use had a root menu item
that would reset the X resource database, but I haven't been able
to find the equivalent on KDE. If you're careful and you know what
you're doing, you can use xrdb to manage the X resource database.

I've lost track of what kind of system you're on, but you
can usually find the system default settings for your X
resources--those parameters you set in your ~/.Xdefaults file--in
the /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/ directory. You might also take a
look at the xrdb(1) man page.
