Cannot reset Local Folders / Local Directory back to default
Platform is Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon Thunderbird 115.16.0esr (64-bit) I must have caused this problem while making a mistake while adding a google gmail takeout file to local folders.
Now account settings shows Local Folders / Local Directory as:
/home/xyz/Downloads/Google Takeout/Takeout/Mail
In Local Folders the Outbox folder properties location shows:
mailbox:///home/xyz/Downloads/Google Takeout/Takeout/Mail/Unsent Messages
In another Linux system Thunderbird shows Local Folders / Local Directory as:
mailbox:///home/xyz/.thunderbird/g44es9f2.default-release/Mail/Local Folders/Unsent Messages
Which tells me basically where it should be pointing.
I tried to change (in account settings) Local Folders / Local Directory using the Browse... button but the Select Local Directory window doesn't give any access to the .thunderbird folder.
How can I change the account settings Local Folders / Local Directory back to what it should be?

I resolved this issue.
In Thunderbird account settings Local Folders / Local Directory using the Browse button the Select Local Directory window has 'Recent' files that when selected shows the original default-release folder; selected it then Mail folder then Local Folders then Open. Thunderbird had to restart but then fixed.
