I rebooted to find all my kde taskbar icons gone. I tried erasing the .kde4 folder, no effect. Need help.
I can't find the basic time icons either. How do I restore defaults?
Thanks.

Obviously. Plasma5 (and all of KDE Frameworks5 actually) does not use ~/.kde4/ at all, the config is located in the standard ~/.config/ now.
What are "basic time icons"?I can't find the basic time icons either. How do I restore defaults?
Does the desktop itself work or do you just have a blank screen?
(the latter would likely mean that plasmashell crashed or wasn't started)
Maybe post a screenshot for clarification.
You can of course reset to the defaults by deleting/renaming the folder ~/.config/.
Or as a first try the file ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc which contains just Plasma's desktop setup.
I think that it is more likely that widgets were unlocked and the default panel accidentally removed. This can be done with an inadvertent swipe. I used to have regular problems with users doing this and at one time resorted to a script to lock widgets when they logged out.
Right-click on some unoccupied desktop, ensure widgets are unlocked, choose Add Panel > Default Panel.
Position, size and configure as desired.

Default panel: time with calendar, notifications, devices, etc
My panel is still gone after deleting '.config'. I tried using the right-click bottom of screen to:
'add panel'-->'default opensuse panel' nothing happens. 'Add empty panel' adds it to the top of the screen. I need bottom of screen. I can't find move panel.
I couldn't get the linux system to start and update install didn't work. So, I did an install with import user.
I managed to get some icons back, but there is no digital time widget.
You might also check to see if you have accidentally switched Activities in the Activity Manager.
