Delete gnome terminal configuration

I made a mistake in the gnome terminal configuration. I entered a command to start with preferences, but this command fails, and now all I get is a window that opens and closes right away, and I can no longer use the gnome terminal :-( Is there a way that I can delete the configuration file and restart the fresh file

Thank!

the above file may be of interest depending on which configuration you changed. Of course, it also contains configuration from other programs.

Open XTerm (standard terminal for Linux) and enter this command

gnome-terminal -e bash

gnome. " ".

If you are on the new gnome terminal that uses dconf, this is a bit more complicated, but still doable:

Profiles are stored with UUIDs, you need to find the UUID of the profile to delete:

dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/ | less

Find the entry visible-name='...'that matches the profile you want to delete. See above for a section heading like [legacy/profiles:/:...]. So the full name of the item you want to remove is /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:.... Delete it this way:

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:...

Side note: this Q&A should probably be moved to unix.stackexchange.com.
