Missing the bottom part of Swatches panel

[Earthling v42.0]

My swatches panel is missing the bottom options/icons for: create folder, create swatch, trash can, add to cc library, etc. I have deleted all preferences, uninstalled InDesign, then reinstalled InDesign. I tried turning "Options" on and off. Is there another area that I should be looking to show it?

When parts of the interface are missing or "damaged," it's usually a problem with your caches:

Thanks so much, Steve!

Weird - I deleted the preferences when re-installing InDesign and it didn't work. This time I just deleted them while opening the software and it worked! Below are the instructions from the link you provided. I'm putting them here to help others.

• (Windows) Start InDesign, and then immediately press Shift+Ctrl+Alt.
• Click "Yes" when asked if you want to delete preference files.

I was looking for the answer to this problem only to realize I posted the same question... 2-1/2 yrs ago! LOL
