How to Reset Discord Settings (Step-By-Step Guide)

discord settings reset

Discord gives you the freedom to personalize it completely using the user settings. But, not all settings are fun. So, if you’re not a fan of the new changes, resetting these settings comes in handy.

Discord provides the Reset to Default option for some of the Settings, but not all of them. We have to get around this lack of a reset button by using the existing features.

How to Reset Discord Settings?

Resetting some settings on Discord is as easy as clicking a button since they provide an option to do so. But, if you want to reset the entire user settings on Discord, you might have to do some parts manually. Below are the steps on how you can reset Discord Settings.

Reset Voice Settings

Note: This setting is not available on the mobile version of Discord.

  1. Open the Discord App or the web client.
  2. Click on the Settings icon that appears next to your Username at the bottom-right part of the window.

Manually Set Everything Back to Normal

The only way to actually set every setting back to default is by manually doing it. You have to go to the user settings and change every setting back to normal. 

How to Reset a Discord Server?

If you own a server, experimenting with the settings can mess up the server. Discord does not give you the option to automatically reset a server back to its default settings. 

So, you have two options here. You can either create a new server and invite all your members again. Or, you can manually change every setting back to normal and remove every channel one by one.

How to Reset the Discord App?

If there’s something wrong with your Discord app, you may want to reset it. Doing this requires a different process for different devices.

Here is how you do it.

On Windows

  1. Close the Discord app.
  2. Then, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open up Task manager.
  3. Look for Discord processes. Right-click on them and select End Task.

  4. Then, open the Run box by pressing Windows key + R key on your keyboard.
  5. Type in %appdata% and press enter.
  6. Open up the Discord folder.
    Windows-Delete-All-Files-Roaming-Discord
  7. Select all files and folders by pressing Ctrl + A.
  8. Press the Delete key on your keyboard and click on OK to confirm.
  9. Open the Discord app.
Note: You won’t be able to delete the app data if Discord’s processes are still running in the background. So, make sure all of them are stopped from the task manager. Additionally, you also have to be an admin to delete files from the C drive.

On macOS

  2. Select Discord and press Force Quit.
