[SalesForce] How to reset the SFDX CLI Runtime Global Configuration Values

I had sometime back set the apiVersion CLI Runtime Configuration value globally for all projects to version 45.0 when I signed up for Spring '19 preview sandbox, using the command:

sfdx force:config:set apiVersion=45.0 --global

Now whenever I executed any SFDX command, I would see the following message in the console.

WARNING: apiVersion configuration overridden at "45.0"

While I could have overridden this again locally when say I proceed using future versions, but that would have required me to set this for every local project.

So, how do I reset the global configuration value to be applicable for all projects?

I had struggled to find this for a bit as I missed the section discussing this in the docs. I realized that the answer was in the same documentation CLI Runtime Configuration Values but was not clearly called out with respect to how to reset global values.

The documentation mentions:

To unset a configuration value, set it to no value. For example, to unset the instanceUrl configuration value:

sfdx force:config:set instanceUrl=

So utilizing the same approach, I was then able to reset the global apiVersion that I had set for my SFDX projects using the below command. Note that command to set any global value (using --global) can be run from either outside or within a SFDX project directory.

sfdx force:config:set apiVersion= --global

[SalesForce] SFDX CLI runtime error

I eventually managed to make it run by deleting it and installing it again.

I deleted all the references to the CLI with the following commands:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/sfdx
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/sfdx
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/sfdx
sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/sfdx ~/.config/sfdx ~/.cache/sfdx
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/sfdx

And then simply installed it again.

I don't really know why it broke from one day to another, but it's the only approach that worked. I could not update it via CLI (obviously?) and re-installing it also didn't work. I needed to explicitly delete all the references as stated in the docs.

[SalesForce] vscode/sfdx doesn’t see the project

When I uninstalled VSCode, then reinstalled and opened the app, it knew to open the project that I had most recently worked on. That told me that uninstalling wasn't really clean. I was dumping the app from the Applications folder, as well as the .vscode/extensions folder, but there had to be more. That search led me to this thread.

I deleted all those files, did a fresh install, reloaded the Salesforce Extension Pack, and now it works!
