In IntelliJ on OS X, how do you clear out all global setting info, licensing etc. (external to any project)

Question

I am having some low level issues with IntelliJ on my mac, I really want to just zero everything out and start over. But even after removing the application and re-installi

Answer 1

Normally information like this will be found in one of the following places in OS X:

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/AppName

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.appname.plist

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AppName

/Library/Preferences/AppName

/Library/Preferences/com.appname.plist

/Library/Application Support/AppName

If the app adheres to the standard OS X conventions you weill find info in one or all of these places. If it doesnt store here you might check for a /Users/username/.intellij folder or something similar in your home directory
