Gahl,

lol. How true. And yes, trial and error involves some errors. And some errors can be hard to undo. I agree with Neil's recommendation to reinstall.
When you uninstall/reinstall, be sure to backup all your project/media files. When I do any Adobe updates/installs, I always clone my hard drive so I can go back.
You'll see many posts about how to organize drives and project/media files. Read up on this.
I'm on Windows, so that's what I'm using as a reference. Your PR/AE "preferences" are in the folders inside your Documents folder. Documents -> Adobe -> Premiere Pro -> [Version, e.g. 23.0]. And a bunch of stuff in there that keeps any custom settings you make. If you delete any/all of that, it just takes you back to the defaults. EXCEPT it is also the default place for creating projects. So make sure you put your Project files and Media in their own folders outside of any Adobe folders. If you want to keep anything in those folders, back them up. For example, custom workspaces or keyboard shortcuts are in files inside those folders.
There is also a lot of stuff in the User folders, but you're less likely to mess with those. And never mess with the files in the Program Files.
