Unless you personally messed around with XFCE files outside of your
homespace, then none of XFCE should be broken.  And a reinstall won't
change anything.

Your own configuration is within your own homespace.  You can test this
by creating a completely new user, and see if that behaves as expected.
Then if that's the case, you can hunt down your ~/.config/xfce4/ config
files and remove them, resetting your own account configurations.

If XFCE has broken files, and *you* didn't do it, then you may have a
hard drive failure.  Replacing it is the answer to that.
