Reset xfce xfconf to default

Question

Start by ignoring all of the advice posted here: Resetting Xfce Panels to default settings?

Then you can do this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
while read channel
do
    for property in $(xfconf-query -l -c $channel)
    do
        xfconf-query -c $channel -r -p $property
    done
done < channels.txt

...

$ cat channels.txt
displays
ristretto
thunar
xfce4-desktop
xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts
xfce4-notifyd
xfce4-panel
xfce4-power-manager
xfce4-session
xfce4-settings-editor
xfce4-settings-manager
xfwm4
xsettings

Why is this a question? I don't have Stack Exchange points needed to reply to the actual thread.

Somebody please do the needful.

My mistake, it says "Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site". — too_few_bars, Jun 11 '19 at 06:30
Ah, yes, that's one of the protected questions. As it says, there's rep points bar just to combat spam or posts that don't follow the rules. Try to answer couple questions - there's about 5k tagged "bash" and something around 17k questions tagged "command-line", so plenty to choose from. In the meantime, +1 for effort on this post. Now, since this is basically a duplicate question, we'll mark it at as so. Again, don't worry about it - it's nothing offensive nor something to critique a post. It's just a simple mechanism to cross reference information, so don't take it personally — Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy, Jun 11 '19 at 06:38
