      Pi Model or other hardware: 2 B
      RetroPie Version Used : 4.2
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website

      Is there something that can I do to go back? Please help...

      Update: nothing can be done. But seems to have done no big damage.

        @pana go back where ? if you have overwritten a custom home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg and you have no backup then it will be gone. The RetroPie managed config is in /etc/emulationstation - most people shouldn't need to override it.

          I was following the tutorial to install kodi and add it to main menu, pressed tab button where I shouldn't. I am almost a noob, though I have been using pi over a year now. So will I have to reinstall everything from the beginnig or is this just the settings I have done so far that is gone?
