Details of the User Profile for various operating systems are given in https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426 If you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a good choice. Start OpenOffice.
