IIUC, and assuming standard file/directory permissions, if all instances of MC are
closed, and its ini file is then removed, every setting (except for panels
configuration? and hotlist), gets reverted to default on next startup.

Long long ago, MC user settings were in ~/.mc/. Now they are in ~/.config/mc/. For
old users you still have you might want to eradicate any ~/.mc/ directories. My
~/.config/mc/ is a symlink to ~/.mc/.

My main user's MC ini file was last written 8 years ago.
