HELP! Directories location problem, Audacity wont launch [SOLVED]

Audacity Help Forum macOS

Hello

I changed the directories location on preferences to somewhere else and it said that changes can only be saved after resetting Audacity so I did that, and now Audacity won’t launch at all, it crashes as soon as it launches, I tried reinstalling but it does not seem to work and I can’t change the directories location back because I obviously can’t launch audacity.

Can someone please give me a fix on this problem, thank you.

You can reset the Audacity preferences by deleting the file “audacity.cfg” (the file is recreated with default settings on next launch of Audacity).
See here for step by step instructions: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/resetting-audacity/50613/1
(In your case, you only need to delete the one file “audacity.cfg”)
