How to restore the original intellij layout window

Instead of choosing “Restore default layout”, I mistakenly chose “Save current value as default layout”, so my current layout (which I don’t want to use) is set by default.

Now I can no longer go to the original layout. Is there a way to reset the layout to its shipped value?

I am on intellij 12.1.1, on Windows7.

The layout saves the position and state of the tool windows, you can change it as you like and save it as new by default.

There is no GUI for the reset layout for the IDE by default, but the configuration is saved inside the project directory in the ./idea/workspace.xml file. When the project is closed, you can remove the <component name="ToolWindowManager"> node from this file.
