KDE desktop blackout problem

Hi, according to the instructions on the Arch site, I did the KDE Zoo installation steps, but after I restart and select KDE, the screen turns completely black, which of course, with ctrl + alt + t, I can open all the programs inside the terminal !!!!
How do I solve the problem?

Please, trace what you read and what you did.
With as much detail as possible.

I went through these steps and got here.

Thank you for telling me what to do now to solve the problem?

Installation
Plasma
Before installing Plasma, make sure you have a working Xorg installation on your system.

Install the plasma-meta meta-package or the plasma group. For differences between plasma-meta and plasma reference Package group. Alternatively, for a more minimal Plasma installation, install the plasma-desktop package.

To enable support for Wayland in Plasma, also install the plasma-wayland-session package.

KDE applications
To install the full set of KDE Applications, install the kde-applications group or the kde-applications-meta meta-package. Note that this will only install applications, it will not install any version of Plasma

Re: KDE desktop blackout problem

My friends, we deleted the kde config files with the help of my friend, and then my friend said I deleted the system cache .. Then we restarted and the problem was solved!
But I want to make sure that kde is fully installed and activated. What command should I enter inside the terminal to make sure?

Re: KDE desktop blackout problem

If you just deleted files in the home directory then there's nothing left to do, KDE will have recreated the relevant caches on startup

Thank you
I want you to give me an order in the terminal and give you the output to see if everything is kde right or not?
