Deleting preferences would not "fix" a text box that is set to center it's content. That's something that would be stored in the document. Reinstalling simply replaces preferences (and other things), so again that would not "fix" this.
Select your box. Type CMD+M (CTRL+M on Windows). Go to the text tab. See if your alignment of text is centered. If it is, change it to Top.
