Uh hello guys. In this video, I'll show
0:02
you how to reset your VS code settings
0:04
to default settings. So for the first
0:08
time, you need to go to settings
0:13
or you can even open command pallet here
0:16
and simply type the user setting JSON
0:19
file. So
0:21
so this JSON file contains all the
0:23
settings that you have done while after
0:27
you install VS code. So this JSON file
0:31
has all your settings.
0:34
So now to actually reset all the
0:38
settings what you will do you will
0:40
select all and simply delete this. So
0:43
simply delete this everything which is
0:46
there and restart your VS code. So this
0:48
is the first way. The second way this is
0:51
the most simplest way. Simply delete
0:53
everything from this file and restart
0:54
your VS code. The second way is uh you
0:58
simply go to C drive and users
1:02
uh whatever is your username.
1:04
Uh here you will find out a folder
1:08
called as app data.
1:11
Inside this app data folder you will
1:13
find this roaming folder and inside this
1:16
we have this code folder. So this folder
1:19
contains all your VS code files.
1:23
inside this we need to delete the folder
1:26
here which is called as
1:33
I think the folder name is
1:39
so yeah so as you want to reset the
1:43
settings you you can simply delete this
1:46
folder completely you can delete this
1:48
folder simply right click and delete
1:50
this entire folder after deleting that
1:52
all the settings, extensions, keyboard
1:55
shortcuts, bindings will be reset to
1:57
default. And once you restart after
2:00
deleting that folder, you can restart
2:03
your VS code. If you only want to reset
2:07
only the extensions, what you can do,
2:09
there is a folder called as uh
2:13
inside this code folder.
2:16
Sorry, inside this roaming folder, you
2:18
have this.
2:21
I think it is present inside. Yeah, only
2:25
inside the username.
2:27
So once you go to the username, you have
2:29
this dot
2:32
VS code folder. So you will see this
2:36
folder VS code.
2:40
Yeah. So VS code folder will be present.
2:43
So this contains all the extensions, the
2:46
keyboard shortcuts. So right one by one
2:49
you can actually download or whichever
2:52
extension is creating a problem you can
2:54
delete that extensions folder from here
2:57
physically as well. So this will also do
3:00
the job. The last but not least if you
3:03
want to entirely delete everything and
3:06
download a fresh copy you can actually
3:10
rightclick file open file location and
3:12
right click once again open file
3:14
location. So right here you will see the
3:17
these are all the files which are
3:18
present. You simply uninstall VS code
3:22
completely to reset everything and then
3:25
go to
3:28
simply type on Google download VS code
3:31
and download a fresh copy of VS code
3:33
from their official website. So this
3:35
will reset everything to download to
3:38
default settings whenever you download a
3:40
fresh copy. So these are the ways by
3:42
which you can do this.
