Intellij appears as a blank white window when opened on Centos
Answered
I've tried uninstalling intellij by deleting both the .IdeaIC2017.3 and idea-IC-173.4548.28 Folders, then reinstalling the tar file and extracting it's contents. But the problem persists, is there any other files which may be corrupted which I can delete and let intellij recreate

Make sure IDE uses either bundled JDK to run or locally installed 1.8 JDK, see https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544879 about how IDE determines the JDK it will run under.

For me, this issue was an XRDP issue, fixed in CentOS 7.6 by editing /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini and changing to max_bpp=24.
@John Hagen thank you for the information.
