HOW do I restore uTorrent's defaults?

[Mikeman75]

I can't find ANYTHING within uTorrent to accomplish this.

I have checked the FAQ, there's nothing there either.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled uTorrent, but the settings remain identical.

So, how do I restore the default settings? I'm becoming very irritated searching to no avail.

After uninstalling, try erasing the %AppData%/utorrent folder (although that would cause all your torrent library to also disappear. You could try backing it up and try deleting only settings.dat in there, not sure if that works like this though.

This is odd. I have visited the FAQ page and via ctrl + f, there were no results for "defaults" or "default."

Thanks though.

EDIT: I did as the FAQ said but the defaults were not restored.

Then you didn't do it right. Make sure the client is CLOSED before you delete the files.

It was closed.

Though I think I fixed it now. I closed it, deleted the %appdata% \uTorrent folder, then uninstalled and reinstalled uTorrent.

Personally, I think a button in options to restore the default settings would make much more sense.

EDIT: I have a new question. In the aforementioned uTorrent folder, there was a bunch of torrent files. What would happen if, when the torrent was done downloading, those files were deleted?
