How to remove libreoffice configuration/settings in debian based linux to fix the settings change problems?

Some times we do accidentally change the some settings of the libreoffice and endup with
1. weird/awakward views of our documents
2. problems in exporting our documents from one format to another say .odt to .doc
3. Alignment issues etc.,

So, If you don't know how to revert the settings/configuration you changed, or forget what changes you made.. there is one simple way to revert to the default settings.  i.e removing the configuration data of that particular user to libreoffice.

One can find this libreoffice configuration/settings file at the following path in debian based linux like ubuntu, BOSS GNU/Linux etc.
/home//.config/libreoffice/  <-- b="">Inside this you have directory named user.  Just remove(or cut & paste to some other place) this directory and launch the Libreoffice application again.  

Note:
.config is hidden file so you first enable your file browser to see the hidden files by the short cut CTRL+h.
