I am having trouble updating a TextArea. The only way I can get the TextArea to update causes a new jpanel to appear. How do I fix this and get the TextArea to properly update thanks I am using methods refresh and refresh2 at the bottom of the code.

Code:
    private JPanel contentPane;
    private JTextField textField;
    private JTextField textField_1;
    
    String path;
    String path2;
    JButton btnLoadMpu = new JButton("");
    JButton btnLoadMpu2 = new JButton("");
    JButton btnFind1 = new JButton("Find");
    JButton btnFind2 = new JButton("Find");
    TextArea textArea_1 = new TextArea();
    TextArea textArea_2 = new TextArea();

    /**
     * Launch the application.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            //public void run() {
            //    try {
                    MPUComp frame = new MPUComp();
                    frame.setVisible(true);
            //    } catch (Exception e) {
            //        e.printStackTrace();
            //    }
        //    }
    //    });
    }

    /**
     * Create the frame.
     */
    public MPUComp() {
        setTitle("Mpu Finder");
        
        ImageIcon LoadIco = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("load.png"));
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setBounds(100, 100, 799, 680);
        

        contentPane = new JPanel();
        contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
        setContentPane(contentPane);
        contentPane.setLayout(null);

        
        
        
        btnFind1.setBounds(250, 27, 68, 23);
        //btnFind1.setIcon(LoadIco);
        
        contentPane.add(btnFind1);
        
        
        btnLoadMpu.setBounds(328, 27, 36, 22);
        btnLoadMpu.setIcon(LoadIco);
        
        contentPane.add(btnLoadMpu);
        
        btnFind2.setBounds(642, 27, 68, 23);
        contentPane.add(btnFind2);
        
        btnLoadMpu2.setBounds(720, 28, 36, 22);
        btnLoadMpu2.setIcon(LoadIco);
        
        contentPane.add(btnLoadMpu2);
        
        menu();
        
        
    }

anyone I think I am not calling the right textarea and not refreshing the right jpanel?

Since I called them in the constructor I am not sure how to call it in other methods in the same class.
