How about ~/.pan2/article-cache?

I assume your graphical file manager is Nautilus since Ubuntu uses GNOME 
by default. Since .pan2 begins with a period, it is normally hidden 
(Unix convention). So in Nautilus, just do View->Show Hidden Files and 
things like .pan2 will become visible. Or ls -a at the command line.

From the command line (cd'd to your home directory), you could have 
found it with this command:

  find . -name '*cache*' -print
