      You can do this from Retropie Setup choose Configuration Tools > emulationstation and choose the Clear/reset option.

      My English isn't at a good level.

        Thank you, I will give it a try. This will also remove remappings of single cores/ROMs?

          No, if you've saved additional remaps, you need to manually delete them from the the \\config folders - each system has its own folders to store the input remapping.

              Hi folks,

              I have messed around with too many different controllers, settings, remappings, etc, resulting in a big chaos.

              Now I am wondering if I can set this back to zero on all levels (ES, retroarch, individual emulators) and start a fresh controller config? Any help appreciated, thanks!

              I have the same problem but can't access the Configure Tools option due to my controller not being set properly. Can I completely clear the settings another way?

                  @mitu Thanks for replying.

                  I tried plugging my PC's keyboard into one of the USB ports but it wasn't detected and didn't respond.

                    @colstar Is F4 working (should quit EmulationStation) ? If so, then type

                    cd RetroPie-Setup
                    sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
                    

                    and you'll be in the setup script, from where you can follow up and reset the input configuration.

                      I just formatted the sd card and reinstalled as I haven't got a keyboard that works with the PI. Controller is setup and working fine now. :)

                        Was this option removed/moved?

                        closest I can see is "configedit" but if I select that I still don't get an option to reset all of them.

                        Where can I find this now?

                          No. Still here:

                            Yes Configuration / tools is there, but I don't see the reset option.

                            Closest I can find in there is "configedit"

                            Edit my bad, re read the post and somehow missed the "emulationstation"
