Removing oh-my-zsh and restoring Terminal to default

After upgrading my OS and migrating to a new hard drive, my iTerm and oh-my-zsh didn't work. I would like to revert this annoying Terminal stuff back to not using oh-my-zsh. I've tried a few tips I found online, but I can't seem to get it back to normal. I will really appreciate any help with this.

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

How do I reset Terminal to it's default se

Does your account still use the default 'bash' shell

dscl . -read $HOME shell

If so, then you should be able to get the Terminal session back to all its defaults by deleting the Terminal preferences


Navigate to the folder in the Finder

Finder -> Go -> Go to folder -> ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist

( ~ [tilda] is the shorthand way of specifying your own home folder)

and remove it (maybe drag it to the desktop so you can put it back if you do not like the results)
