Who said "DELETE"????

Not I. I said "RENAME"--which preserves those mods, ready for
restoration.

BTW--My advice, works for restoring the DEFAULT SETUP for *any* user. I
just phrased my response for the specifics of the case--and chose to
only respond to the question asked. (I'm a sudo'er, myself, Slacker that
I am.)

I really didn't want to start the "logging in as root is unwise" vs.
"I *do* know what I'm doing and I want to login as root" thread again.
