at the bottom of the screen is the question. I was experimenting with
the desktop and deleted it. Now I’m just looking at an empty desktop to
which I can add widgets, but I sure would like to have the panel back
with the clock, menu, task manager, etc.
Also, anytime I add a new panel to the desktop it places it at the top
of the screen. Can this be moved from this location to another?
Easiest way to fix this is delete or rename the .kde4 it’s a hidden
folder in /home

That procedure didn’t work for me. Still no panel at the bottom. I had
created another one with the widgets I want, but it’s at the top and is
still there… only colored gray now instead of black. It would be
fine if I could move it to the bottom.

Well I had faced the same situation. I tried to add a new panel and KDE asked me if it was the default panel that I wanted to add or a generic one. Check if this works.
On a clean desktop when I right-click the menu only presents an “Add
Panel” option. When I select it a panel is immediately added to the top
of the page. I don’t see an option presented for choosing what kind of
panel to create. Can you tell me exactly what sequence you are going
through to find this option? Thanks.

well when there is no panel at all, then if I add a panel it asks me if I want to add the default panel. Hope it clarifies, else I shall write more tomorrow morning.
If you would please. What I see when right clicking on the empty desktop
is a menu which presents the selection choices:
Run Command
Add Widgets
Add Panel
Desktop Settings
Lock Widgets
Lock Screen
Leave
When choosing “Add Panel” immediately a new panel is placed at the top
of the screen with no opportunity to choose what type of panel it should
be.
