The process is slightly different depending on whether you're using the [Paddle or Mac Appstore](https://peakhoursupport.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=p4w&title=How%20do%20I%20tell%20which%20distribution%20of%20PeakHour%20I%20have%3F&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=327706) version of PeakHour.

> ❌ This will completely remove your PeakHour settings, including your license (if you purchased via Paddle) and your history data. If you wish to retain this information, we suggest making a backup of the files before you delete them.

To reset your configuration, follow these steps:

1. Make sure PeakHour is stopped / not running.
2. Open Terminal (the easiest way is to click the Spotlight magnifying glass in the top-right corner of the screen, type 'Terminal' and hit Enter).
3. Copy and paste the following and hit Enter.
4. Reboot your Mac.
