How to Reset JSON Settings in VSCode
To reset JSON settings in Visual Studio Code (VSCode), you'll generally want to revert changes made in the settings.json file. This file contains all the user and workspace settings.
Here is a step-by-step guide:
- Open VSCode.
- Press Ctrl + , on Windows or Cmd + , on Mac to open the Settings tab.
- Click on the '{}' icon in the top right corner to open the settings.json file.
- To reset specific settings, simply delete the lines containing those settings and save the file.
- If you want to reset all settings to their defaults, you can either delete the entire contents of this file or delete the file itself from your user profile directory.
- Close and reopen VSCode to ensure that the changes take effect.
If you delete the file, VSCode will automatically generate a new settings.json file with default settings next time it's opened.
Remember to back up any important settings before making changes, just in case you need them later.
