How to Reset Docker Desktop to Factory Default

Some of our customers approach us to reset their Docker Desktop to the factory defaults to their initial state. This is often done as a part of a troubleshooting process. Fortunately, it is a very easy process as long as you stick to the following steps:

1. To begin with, open the Docker Desktop app and head to the dashboard.
2. Then, select the Troubleshoot icon and click Reset to factory defaults.
3. Next, click the Yes, reset anyway and the task is done.

Our Support Techs would like to point out that all our images and local containers will be destroyed during the factory default. Additionally, settings like our sign-in information will also be removed.

In fact, it is always a good idea to take a backup before switching to factory default. This ensures that we do not lose any critical data.

In fact, the Troubleshooting menu in the Docker Desktop dashboard offers several troubleshooting options like:

• Restart Docker Desktop
• Support
• Reset Kubernetes cluster
• Clean/Purge data
• Reset to factory defaults
• Uninstall

It is a good idea to try out the other troubleshooting options before opting for a factory default reset. Let us know how your attempt at resetting Docker Desktop pans out in the comments.
