Reset the IntelliJ Plugin to default settings
If you would like to start the IntelliJ Plugin from a “clean slate”, the existing Plugin settings files should be deleted. The Plugin settings files are stored in the user’s IntelliJ profile directory; the default location is dependent on OS and IntelliJ edition and version:
IntelliJ Community Edition:
Windows 2019: %USERPROFILE%\.IdeaIC2019.x
Windows 2020.1:%APPDATA%\JetBrains
Linux: ~/.IdeaIC2019.x
IntelliJ Ultimate Edition:
Windows 2019: %USERPROFILE%\.IntelliJIdea2019.x
Windows 2020.1:%APPDATA%\JetBrains
Linux: ~/.IntelliJIdea2019.x
Deleting settings
To delete the Plugin settings, perform the following steps:
- Close any open sessions of IntelliJ
- Navigate to the appropriate IntelliJ profile directory (as detailed above)
- Navigate further to the subdirectory:
config/options
- Delete all of these files if they are present:
- CoverAnalyticsInstallationID.xml
- CoverSettingsConfig.xml
- CoverTirIndexes.xml
- coverVersions.xml
- Restart IntelliJ.
