Hello Lissa,

You don't mention the Kdenlive version, I assume it's 16.xx.
There are 2 main configuration files for Kdenlive:

* The main config file: $HOME/.config/kdenliverc
* The UI config file: $HOME/.local/share/kxmlgui5/kdenlive/kdenliveui.rc

Deleting these 2 files should bring you a clean kdenlive.

Best regards
