How to reset Safari 8.0.2 on OS X Yosemite?

Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Safari Version 8.0.1
I want to restore Safari to default settings and completely wipe the application. I haven't found a way to do this, I've looked on Youtube, Apple Support, and many other websites. None of them include information on how I can reset Safari.
Thanks in advance!

Back up all data before proceeding.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select
           ▹ Force Quit…
from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
If Adobe Flash Player is installed, select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
          Caches/com.apple.Safari
          Caches/com.apple.Safari.SearchHelper
          Caches/com.apple.SafariServices
          Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
          Caches/com.apple.WebProcess
          Caches/Metadata/Safari
          Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
          Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If the problem is solved, stop here. Close the Library folder. If you still have a problem, continue.
Step 2
Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work, quit, go back to the Finder, and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (again, some may not exist):
          Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
          Internet Plug-Ins
          Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Safari.*.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.Safari.Extensions.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
          PubSub/Database
          Safari
          SyncedPreferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Here, "*" stands for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes.
Note 1: You are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”
Note 2: This step will remove your Safari extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to reinstall them, do so one at a time, testing each time to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
Try again. Your settings and bookmarks will be lost. The default set of bookmarks will be restored. Delete them all.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select
          File ▹ Import Bookmarks...
from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in Step 1. Stop here and post again.
If you don’t like the results of the last step, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

Reset button is gone in Yosemite. How do I reset Safari now?

Ever since the Yosemite update I have not been able to reset Safari if need be. How do I go about doing this?

Are you looking for this:

How do I reset Safari on MacBook Pro, running Yosemite 10.10.3 with Safari V8.0.5? The reset button is not in Preferences, Privacy, nor on the drop-down menu of Safari.

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.3, and Safari V8.05. I want to reset Safari, but there is no reset in the Safari drop-down nor is there a reset in the Preferences - Privacy window. Any Help out there?

Hi, thanks for the response. I have searched online and many posts say to reset Safari all you have to do is click on the Safari icon, then select reset from the drop down menu, or find the reset button in the privacy window in preferences. My system has neither options. My Safari had been hijacked (frozen) by a pop-up. I cleared all history, cookies, cache, etc. with the wifi off, and it seems to have worked so far. Many posts said to reset Safari, and I don't seem to have that option.
Thanks again.

Reset Safari option in Yosemite

Has the full reset Safari functionality been abandoned in Yosemite. I know that the option is not on the Safari menu. The clear content option does not appear to be as thorough as this functionality was.

Apple really **** the bed here on this upgrade. They are on a haste decline.

Screen flickers with safari version 8.0.2. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1. Reseted safari, rebooted, etc. Nothing works. Ideas?

Screen flickers with safari version 8.0.2. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1. Reseted safari, rebooted, etc. Nothing works.
Ideas on how to fix?
The flickering doesn't always happen but does come back after some time of use.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

How to reset safari 8

How can I reset safari 8 on os x yosemite. I have redirect problem on my browser. I want to search things from toolbar using google but it redirects me to a different search engine. I checked all extensions there is no one there that seems wrong. please help me.

In OS X 10.10, with the new update to Safari, you can't simply reset Safari like before. Now you have to actually go in and manually disengage anything plugged in to safari.
This means entering the Library folders for both the system and user accounts affected by the Trovi/Conduit/Search protect redirect malwares.
First up is closing Safari down. Quit it, or Force Quit it using the Command/Option/Esc shortcut. Next up is to navigate to Finder and remove traces of the pest in your user files.
While some antivirus programs are great for this, avoid MacKeeper like the plague, it basically will do the same thing. Do not ever use it.
I should warn you, deleting files in this part may affect your computer adversely. When in doubt, TIME MACHINE BACKUP!!!!
Mouse up to the "Go" top menu selection, and hold down the Option/Alt key. Magically, the Library folder will appear, which you'll need to click on, and go in to. The file path should be something along the lines of /Users/YOURNAME/Library. Inside this are a few folders that you'll need to pop in and check out. Application Support is one of them, this will house anything dealing with preference files or misc files for programs or apps, including in some cases, search redirect add ons. Find the name of your assailant, be it Trovi, Conduit, or the plethora of others out there that hijack your browser (take note of the website it launches when you go to your homepage, check Safari's system preferences to double check prior to this dive into your system files).
Once you've located files associated with the program, Command/Delete them, or just delete them however you normally would. Securely empty the trash to ensure that even if they're in use, they will be deleted.
Next folder on the list is back in the Library, so head backwards in the File path and scroll down to Internet Plug-ins. Inside this folder is anything Safari uses, either intentionally or not. Clear anything in there that doesn't look right, this Folder is normally empty by default anyways.
Next folder for inspection is back in the Library folder, named Safari. This is the real bread and butter here, and where you'll find .plist files galore. You should open and clear Extensions folder, LastSession.plist, as well as the Local Storage folder. Do not delete folders in this enclosing Safari folder, only files.
Empty the trash securely again. Next up is to check the system Library folder for any lingering pest files. The filepath for this folder is simply inside the main drive, Library will be on the same hierarchy as Users, System, Applications, and so on. Open the Library folder, open Application Support folder, and again, check for anything suspicious. Anything inside this folder is a series of preference files for applications used by users/the system. Hopefully there should be nothing in this folder to delete, but on occasion you'll see Trovi or other folders in there.
The next folder to check, back up the ladder in to Library, is the Internet Plug-ins folder. This will contain files for you to delete, likely as .plugin files.
The final folder to check is back in the Library, called Preferences. This is where hunting and pecking will be a time consuming affair. You will likely have roughly 100+ files inside this folder, each of them is a com.whatever.whatever.plist file. These are pretty important files. Among these plist files will very likely be a trovi or conduit plist with a com.trovi.whatever.plist file name. Delete that little file, securely empty your trash.
The final process to finish this all up will be to set your homepage in Safari back to what it used to be. Open it up (WITH YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION OFF), go to your Safari preferences, input your homepage, then save that and close Safari. Restart the Mac, then turn on your Wifi/ethernet connection, and open Safari. It should be hijack-free.

How do I reset Safari..? I think I have a Trovi virus - anyone have any ideas..?

Since installing Yosemite, I now seem to have a Trovi virus in my Mac. I'm trying to reset Safari as part of the process to rid the computer of this virus. I can't seem to find where to do this now. Recent updates has changed where to find the reset safari tab. Anyone have any ideas on this or the Trovi Virus..?

You may have installed the "SearchProtect" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.perion.searchprotectd.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.perion.searchprotectd.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Applications/SearchProtect
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/searchplugins/MyBrand.xml
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/External Extensions/fjadmdmahkpbhgbmmkiiaanlnlekelmn.json
~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/TroviNPAPIPlugin.plugin
~/Trovi
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Quit and relaunch Safari. From the menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Trovi" or "palmall" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions.
Reset the default search engine and home page to what it was before.
"SearchProtect" may be distributed along with two other applications: "MacKeeper," which is a scam, and "ZipCloud," which, if not actually a scam, has a dubious reputation. Ask if you need instructions to remove those items.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Printing Margins - Reset Safari Library?

I am having a problem printing documents from safari, from only 1 of my accounts on my macbook. The guest account has no problems printing.
The problem is the same regardless what printer I print to. When told to print safari will format the document to fill the entire page. Creating a custom size paper with custom margins doesn't correct the problem either. When printing pages, safari formats the page to print larger than the margins the printer can physically print to (unless set up to print borderless). Also, printing to pdf produces a document that is formatted to outermost margins of the document.
Is it possible to reset safari to a like new state? I've tried going Safari -> Reset Safari, with no improvement. I don't want to create a new user account, there must be a way to reset it.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I had the same problem where the left margin was clipped off and literally spent hours trying to fix it.
I found a solution that worked for me so I registered for this Forum expressly to post the fix.
It's simple, but not intuitive.
From *within Safari* choose "File-->Print." Then select the "Paper Size" drop-down option and choose "Manage Custom Sizes."
Use the "+" sign to create a new template.
Double-click on the name of the template "Untitled" and type in a name of your choosing, such as "US Letter for Safari" and hit "return" to save the name.
For "Paper Size" type in "8.5 in" for width and "11 in" for height.
For "Non-Printable Area" select "User Defined."
Then input your Top, Bottom, Left, and Right margin settings.
I input the following:
-Top and Right: .25"
-Bottom: .5"
-Left: .35"
Then hit "OK" and quit Safari.
Then go to "System Preferences -->Print and Fax" and then select your printer from the menu on the left side.
Once you do that, you should see a drop-down tab in the lower-middle section of the screen that says, "Default Paper Size."
Select the paper size that you just created in Safari and quit System Preferences.
Then open Safari and print a test page.
What's really odd is that you DO NOT need to select the Paper Size on the "Print" screen menu. For me, it still defaults to "Letter," but it actually prints the margin sizes that I set for my Custom paper size.
I hope this saves at least one person all the frustration that I went through looking for a fix!

Logging in to remote site, reset safari does not clear the user login info?

I'm logging in to a remote site with a 2 step login. Authentication then citrix. User info is not cleared in the authentication portion when I reset safari. Must be stored somewhere else. Where should I look?

Launch the Keychain Access application and search for the server name.

I accidently reset safari 6, how do I go back?

I accidently reset safari 6. I want to go back to before the reset. I have my hard drive back up on a bootable hard drive. I want to pull the data off that drive and replace where safari cleared my passwords, etc. Can I do this? Where do I look to find all the correct files to replace? Thanks

That is what I wanted to know, but is the Library Folder the one at the same level as the system folder, or the Library folder that is inside the system folder? In other words, what should the path be to find these subfolders? I don't see a library folder with Safari inside of it. Thanks very much!

Where is new safari 5 update apple?

I have tried all of the fixes for safari 5 not opening pages and none are working.
Apple must know by now that we need an update and hopefully it will come soon.
I have thrown away plists, cache files, I dont have the third party things, reset safari, repaired permissions.
still pages do not load, sometimes a reload will work and other times it will not.
Are there anyother ideas out there?

Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
