I have messed up the window layout within FreeCAD, and I cannot seem to get back to the "original" layout (using 19.1 24276 with Win10). In desperation, I've uninstalled FreeCAD (including preferences) and re-installed, but the messed up windows within FreeCAD are still there.
I foolishly tried to set the Combo window to display both Model and Tasks instead of using the tabs.
Any suggestions as to what hidden file/directory etc. I need to delete? I'm plagued by a light blue screen area which appears if I try to move the Combo View window to fill space just under the tools area. I've set Win10 NOT to automatically move windows with no result. Any ideas WELCOMED!

Re: Problem resetting window layout in FreeCAD
Thank you bambuko for your reply. Unfortunately this did not restore with the original window pattern in FreeCAD -- it retained the messed up window placements etc. in spite of deleting C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD (includes system.cfg and user.cfg).
Any other thoughts to get the original window configuration back (without reinstalling Windows I hope!!!)?

Re: Problem resetting window layout in FreeCAD
So, you actually deleted FreeCAD folder in \Roaming ?
followed by re-installing of FreeCAD?
Whatever you do to recover, learn your lesson and keep backup copy of *.cfg files to replace them when you mess things up again
(I am talking from personal experience of doing exactly that... )
