Reset preferences functionality is now available with InDesign 2024(v19.4.0 onwards)
There are so many folks reporting InDesign issues on the forum recently that are solved by trashing preferences and/or clearing the cache files. This is so easy to address in Photoshop—Prefs > General > Reset Preferences on Quit—and so many steps in InDesign. We have to determine the operating system, address how to show hidden files, etc. Can this please be added to Preferences?

The feature is now available from InDesign 2024(v19.4.0.63) onwards. We recommend you upgrade to the latest version to try the feature. Refer to Reset User preferences for more details.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application click on the context menu on the top right, and click on Check for App Updates.

This would be life changing. I see in 2024/2025 Adobe has added a quick way to trash prefs — but is this the same as clearing cache for InDesign? https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/
