I'm trying to adjust minecraft to run smoothly on my acer aspire, but now I've got the video settings all messed up. I want to uninstall minecraft and start from scratch, but it's not on my list of programs to uninstall. How do I start from scratch?
Best Answer
You don't need to uninstall minecraft to reset your video settings. Here's how to do it.
On Windows:
- From the Start Menu, select Run... (or press Windows key+R)
- Enter %APPDATA%\.minecraft and press OK
- Locate the file options.txt and delete it. If you have optifine installed, delete ofoptions.txt too.
- Start your minecraft app. All settings will be back to the default.
On a Mac:
- Go to your Finder
- From the Go menu up at the top, click Go to Folder... (Shift+Command+G)
- Enter the following and click OK: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
- Delete options.txt and ofoptions.txt (if you have optifine)
- Start your minecraft app. All settings will be back to the default.
Note: On a Mac, you have to do exactly as I say in step 3 because the folder is hidden. You can't browse to it from the finder unless you have hidden files turned off.

Answer 2
Minecraft is located in your appdata folder in a .minecraft folder,
On windows it's as easy as going to %APPDATA%\.minecraft and deleting what you need from there. You won't need to delete the saves folder if you want to keep your worlds
