Can't Open VLC after Installing Skins.

Can't Open VLC after Installing Skins.
Hi, I am having trouble reverting the defaults of my vlc settings. After I installed a skin I download from gnome-look I can't switch to any skins anymore. I searched for a .vlc/something in my home directory to delete it but I didn't find it so I decided to delete the vlc directory in /usr/share/. Then, when I launch vlc it doesn't open up anymore and prompts me for a skin instead. However, if I leave the .vlt skin that I download on the 'desktop'(where it shouldn't be installed there in the first place) it runs fine. But I want the default skin and I don't know how to set it back.. It is really ruining my video experience on my desktop. Damn! Any help pls.. When I run vlc via terminal here's what I get:

note: I also get prompted for a skin after getting this error:

If I open up a different skin or the default skin via the prompt dialog that pops up after launching vlc, i get this error:

P.S. I am using Ubuntu Intrepid btw..
Thanks in advance..

The config files are in your home dir. -> .config/vlc. Try deleting the vlc folder and doing a complete removal or purge of vlc and reinstall.
