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.
