Tried this to no avail


For 12.10 and above

I, along with jokerdino and amithkk have created a python script that
cleanly resets Unity for Quantal and above.

It is hosted on github at https://github.com/phanimahesh/unity-revamp

The script is now bundled with Unity Tweak
Tool<https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/unity-tweak-tool/>.
You can install it using

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freyja-dev/unity-tweak-tool-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

To reset Unity, do

unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity
