VLC does not work after skin change

Hi!

I installed a new skin on VLC (Colibri) and set the settings so that the menu will not show. Now, however, I have no way of finding the menu again and cannot change the skin back. I cannot access any settings because I cannot access any menu, not even by right-clicking. I use Ubuntu Linux and there is no /home/myusername/.vlc folder to delete any cache files

Can anyone help me?

Thanks you aLtgLasS!

After running that script, I just needed to right-click and de-select "Minimal view", then I could go into Tools -> Preferences and change my settings back to Classic View!

Thanks for your help!

Bonjour Pathsy, simplement, efface le dossier %appdata%/vlc depuis explorer
