Hammer & Screwdriver Where's the XFCE folder?

If a few of you look on FedoraForums, you'll find that a little while ago, I went on a desktop installing spree. I just have a small question about XFCE desktop. In my user directory, I see .kde, .mate, and .trinity. (all three are directories), but I have XFCE 4.8 installed along with the others. I don't see where my XFCE prefs folder is. I found online awhile back that if you delete the desktop prefs folder (in my case at the time, it was .kde) then it will set your preferences back to square one. If I do something stupid like delete a panel instead of close a window, how to I reset XFCE?

NAME
xfdesktop - The Xfce 4 Desktop Environment's desktop manager SYNOPSIS
xfdesktop xfdesktop [options] DESCRIPTION
xfdesktop manages the desktop itself in the Xfce 4 Desktop Environment. This includes drawing the desktop backdrop and providing a right- click applications menu and middle-click window list menu, as well as drawing icons on the desktop. Only one instance of xfdesktop can be running at a time, and should be started by running xfdesktop without any arguments. OPTIONS
--reload Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to reload all its settings, including loading a new random backdrop if using a back- drop list. --menu Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the applications menu at the current position of the mouse cursor. --windowlist Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the window list menu at the current position of the mouse cursor. ENVIRONMENT
xfdesktop's behavior is affected by the following environment variables. XDG_CONFIG_HOME Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files. If this environment variable is not present, it defaults to ~/.config XDG_CONFIG_DIRS Specifies a colon-separated list of system directories in which to search for configuration data. If this environment variable is not present, it defaults to /etc/xdg FILES
xfdesktop searches for a menu description file in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/xfce-applications.menu. xfdesktop can also use a user-customized menu in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/. BUGS
Please report any bugs to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Development discussion should be conducted on the xfce4-dev@xfce.org mailing list. Usage-related questions should be directed to the xfce@xfce.org mailing list. HOMEPAGE
