uh hello guys uh welcome to this video
0:02
so in this video I will show you in VS
0:04
code how to reset your all your settings
0:07
to default settings so if you have make
0:10
accidentally some kind of a change and
0:13
now it is creating some problem now you
0:15
can actually reset all settings so there
0:19
is an option right in VS code so if you
0:22
open VS code simply you need to go to
0:24
this manage option and right here need
0:27
to click on this settings just open the
0:31
settings and
0:33
uh you can even just type right here
0:37
user settings just search for this or
0:42
what you can do you can uh on Windows
0:45
machine there is a shortcut key which is
0:47
control shiftp so this will open this
0:50
command panel panel and right here you
0:52
just need to search for this uh
0:56
open user
0:58
settings so here all your user settings
1:01
files are stored here inside a JSON file
1:05
so if you just open
1:07
this so you will see all your settings
1:10
are stored inside this file right here
1:12
such as your key bindings which theme
1:14
you are using which kind of shortcuts
1:16
all the extension settings are this one
1:19
so if you want to reset everything what
1:21
you can do is that you can copy this
1:23
settings somewhere else if you have some
1:26
important settings right here before
1:29
deleting it store it somewhere else and
1:31
after that simply delete everything and
1:35
just make it so you can see it is saying
1:38
a setting has been changed that requires
1:40
restart so you just need to click uh
1:43
this restart button as soon as you do
1:45
the restart you will see all your
1:47
settings have been reseted to the
1:49
default value you can see my settings
1:51
have been it created a new settings.json
1:54
file where it has again this default
1:58
settings so this is the first way by
1:59
which you can do this and uh now there
2:02
is a second way as well if this doesn't
2:05
work
2:07
or then there is a second option that

2:46
again slash so just enter everything and
2:49

2:53
files are stored so you will see all
2:55
these three files which will be there
