Hi :) If you rename the User Profile then you can always rename it back later.
Renaming just hides it from the program/suite so LibreOffice creates a fresh new one profile populated with the default settings, configs and all the rest. Deleting the User Profile would also work but then if it goes wrong or if you want to return to old the settings&configs or recover stuff from your templates, library gallery or anything else you added to LibreOffice then it would be tricky. So, renaming is best. Yes, Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Paths is only for Windows and Linux, and maybe Bsd. Mac is a bit different.
