Plasma crashes after logging in.

I've been using Bazzite on my PC for a while now and haven't had an issue. I was away from home for a month and when I came back and updated everything, KDE Plasma suddenly started to crash when I simply interact with the taskbar or the desktop. I backed up my plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and then let Plasma make a new one so that it would reset my customization to defaults but the issue persists. I can't interact with the desktop or taskbar at ALL or it will freeze, crash, and restart. Eventually Plasma will no longer restart and will instead give me just a black screen so I have to manually restart it with the terminal. This makes my computer basically unusable and I'm really happy with Bazzite and I would like to not have to reinstall and lose all my data.

Solution
Scratch that, I (somewhat) found the issue! I deleted the file .config/kdeglobals and my desktop no longer crashes. I apologize for the waste of a question. I hope this helps someone else who might be having my same issue!
