Reset Remote Desktop Manager to default settings

The present article shows how to reset Remote Desktop Manager to its original settings, allowing users to identity and resolve installation-related issues. Here are the steps to follow:

Ensure that Remote Desktop Manager is completely closed.
Head over to Remote Desktop Manager's configuration folder (by default C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Devolutions), and rename the RemoteDesktopManager folder to something indicating it is no longer to be used, e.g., RemoteDesktopManager.old.
Launch Remote Desktop Manager again. Doing so automatically creates a new RemoteDesktopManager folder with default configurations, and sets Remote Desktop Manager to behave as if freshly installed.
If resetting Remote Desktop Manager does not resolve the issues, remove the new RemoteDesktopManager folder created upon launching, and rename the RemoteDesktopManager.old folder back to its former name.

mv ~/.rdm.old/Connections.db ~/.rdm && remotedesktopmanager
