Accidentally deleted a paint brush (paint brush size) in After Effects's brush section

Hello, and good day to all!

 

I really need an answer to this question, and I would appreciate it a lot if you do so. I have accidentally deleted a paint brush (a paint brush size) in the "Brush" tab in After Effects, and now I am not quite sure on how to get it back, nor how to put it back to default. I tried making a new paint brush, but I don't quite remember the size of the deleted brush so I'm not able to make a new brush. I need my brush tab to be the same as before. If this is possible, please help me and I would be very thankful.

 

Thank you!

You would simply delete the preferences to create new ones with factory defaults or reinstall the program to overwrite old prefs.

Thank you so much! I now know. But I tried something earlier, which actually fixed my problem. I pressed the 3 lines icon beside the brush tab, and press "Reset brush tips" and it actually put my brush tab back to its default settings. It put back my deleted brush sizes, etc. Does this count as well, and is this alright for me to do?

 

Thank you so much though!
