I accidentally deleted my main panel, is there a shortcut I can use to reset everything, I found no solutions to bring it back.

Is there also maybe a way to bring back the main panel? I would like a numbed down version, I just got this thing.

I don't get the fancy keywords, sorry!

It is also asking me for a bigger paragraph, so here is this as well.

    The normal solution is to restore from your backup. It is possible to recover from problems, but without knowing what you did no one can say how, just re-image your SD Card with Raspbian. – Milliways Dec 28 '19 at 08:46
  • What do you mean by "main panel"? You've got an empty desktop after bootup now, or what exactly happens? – PMF Dec 28 '19 at 09:46
  • take the sd card out of the pi 4 - it is now in the state it came from the factory - I think "factory reset" is probably the wrong term for what you want to do – Jaromanda X Dec 28 '19 at 23:57

take a look at how to install the operating system: basically you download the latest version of the operating system, unpack it so you have a "xxxxxx.img" file,and then remove the sd card from the pi and completely overwrite it by putting it in another computer and writing the img file onto it. A proper factory reset! This is where you get the official operating system from: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ I believe the directions on how to get the img on an SD card for various scenarios can be found from there. p
