Revert to Eclipse default settings

eclipse themes

I know there is the option in Eclipse to 'restore defaults'.

The problem is I had imported a .epf to change my editors font/colors.

I'm not a big fan of the changes and would like to go back. I've tried deleting the eclipse folder and downloading a fresh copy, but the styles persist.

I assume there is a config file somewhere that I could possibly delete.

Anyway, if you could help me out here I would appreciate it. I've looked for solutions but they all seem to point to the same answer that doesn't work for me.

You can reset to the default color scheme in the Window>Preferences options page. This example will be for resetting a theme used for Java.

Navigate to Windows>Preferences>Java>Editor. Click on Syntax Coloring. Click "Restore Defaults" and "Apply". Then, navigate to General>Editors. Click on Text Editors. Click on "Restore Defaults" and "Apply".

I had the same issue and the above steps cleared up my problem. Also, the Show line numbers check box is on the last page from above.
