How to reset folder view settings on File Explorer for Windows 11 and 10

.

On Windows 11 and 10, File Explorer includes five different templates to customize the view of folders, including "General items" (the default for every new folder), "Documents," "Pictures," "Music," and "Videos." Each template provides a unique layout with icons and specific sorting and grouping depending on the folder's content type.

For instance, the "Pictures" template view offers a layout with large icons, while the "Music" view applies the details layout, which offers a list view sorting by track number, title, artist, and additional information.
