Cleaning the device wont matter how much userdata you delete or move,
cache is a different partition...
Here you can see the different partitions on for example Nexus 5 [0]
Try wiping cache as i said:
reboot to recovery
adb shell "rm -r /cache/recovery/*"
This gets rid of old update tarballs.
There is no personal data in cache, the /cache/recovery/ is only used
for updates. The reason why it stores it there is so tempararly store
it there while the device reboots to flash (note that recovery does
the flashing [1], ubuntu-device-flash just pushes the updates to the
device)

Tried this - device booted into 'Contact Support, your Device is
f****cked' screen. (sigh), Will back up properly next time before
attempting this - yep, thanks for the advice by the way - normally I
just copy essential files and am done with it.
Restoring now how I originally flashed the device from android.

Perhaps others can advise how to backup the relevant
directories (e.g. contacts, messages etc) to do a new install,
and copy back in the contacts etc. I don't know enough (yet)
about Ubuntu Touch, but wouldn't it be much the same as Ubuntu
desktop. Aka, reinstall ubuntu, keeping the home directory (or
backing up home directory), then all contact, messaging
information should be available again
Copy the whole /home/phablet and you'll have everything.
You can use something like Buds (by Alan Pope) [*] or use ADB.
Regards.
