Check out this link, see if there's something there that can help before you go the nuclear option.

Also, before doing something drastic, rename the /home/USER/.config/xfce4  folder to something like xfce4.bak.

Then try to restart xfce again and see if it recreates that folder and its contents.

if you run low on space(partition mostly full, for example) things sometimes misbehave.
