I have installed nautilus-elementary but didn't like it. So I wanted to go back to regular nautilus but the gui items and icons are missing. Only icons left are Backward and Forward buttons. I have removed elementary repository and reinstalled the nautilus but it didn't restore the default nautilus. How can I restore it? Is there any additional packages to install? Thanks :)

did you remove the hidden settings folders/files in your home?
press ctrl+h to see hidden in nautilus.

look under ".gnome2" & ".gconf"

I didn't remove the hidden files (not intentionally, does the elementary installation and un-installation remove those files?)

I have checked those folders, those files seem to be present.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus ?

no, uninstalling does not remove those files.
once you delete those it should return to the default nautilus settings.

after you delete them log out & back in.

deleting those files only brought back breadcrumbs.. ;) but the others are still missing... :confused:
