# How to Restore to Factory Settings
Heres how to start over with untouched preferences and default feeds:
1. Quit NetNewsWire if its running.
2. Delete the application support folder. On the command line, do: `rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/NetNewsWire/`
3. Delete the preferences. Just deleting the file wont do the trick — its necessary to use the command line. Do: `defaults delete com.ranchero.NetNewsWire-Evergreen` and then `killall cfprefsd`
Launch NetNewsWire. You should have the default feeds, and all preferences should be reset to their default settings.
#### Alternate version
Run the [cleanPrefsAndData](../cleanPrefsAndData) script instead of doing the above manually.
