How do I revert Sublime Text 3 to a fresh state

This little gist will walk you through the process of reverting your Sublime Text installation to a fresh state.

This simply means to get Sublime Text to exactly as it was by default.

Hum... Will I lose all my setup?

No. You can go back to how you were really easily, and it's explained at the bottom. 😉

Revert to a fresh state

1. Preferences → Browse Packages
2. Go up 2 folders
3. Close Sublime Text
4. Rename the Sublime Text 3 folder something else (Sublime Text 3-actual for example)
5. restart Sublime Text

What this will do is recreate the Sublime Text 3 folder for you, as it was by default.

🎉 Now, Sublime Text is exactly how it was when you first started it 👶

Get your setup back

You've probably guessed how to do this now, but for clarity's sake, here's the step by step process:

1. Preferences → Browse Packages
2. Go up 2 folders
3. Close Sublime Text
4. Delete the sublime Text 3 folder
5. Rename the original Sublime Text 3 folder (in my case, it'd be the folder Sublime Text 3-actual) to Sublime Text 3
6. Restart Sublime Text

🎉 Now you're back to how you were before.

worked well...

I wish I had thought of that... Thanks mate!

Eeeeeh what does go up 2 folders mean???

It means, goes to the folders and look for the folder "Sublime Text 3", renamed with another name.

Thank the computer gods for you.

I was having problems with PHP unable to go to a functions definition. The only way it would work on a project was to have the file that defined the function open on the editor. I tried uninstalling sublime and re-installing and noticed all the settings were not removed. I followed this post and it fixed my problem. Thank you!

thanks, really simple and understandable,,

I know, %APPDATA%\Roaming in that folder if we delete all folders, most of applications are reset. But In my sublime text 4, It reset my sublime text including all settings, and theme. But My problem is still not resolved. The Code completions that give us emmet abrevation are not still come as before they were are gone. PLEASE HELP!!!

@lucad123 There when you go up 2 folders, It mean to go to back 2 folders. You can press Alt + Up 2 times to go 2 folders up.

Worked for me

Oh man, thank you so much! I had deleted and reinstalled the app repeatedly and that still didn't work!
