Hi Folks,
I deleted .kettle folder by mistake and now I am getting the below error when I execute spoon.sh (kettle 4.2.1), Is there any option to set all the .kettle files to default. please suggest how i can overcome this issue.

I recently had the same problem.

The solution was to delete the db.cache* File in my user home dir (%USERPROFILE%/.kettle)
