First, identify the files, which were changed. The resulting listing should mostly contain files, which are expected to have been changed, so this article will focus on the /etc/  directory.

1. Log in as root.
2. You can inspect the file system structure in /, but the actual changes reside in /rw/overlay-rw/
3. Run the following command to find all changed files (you can pipe it to a file as well for easier inspection): find /rw/ 
4. Now let's run a more narrow search to only find the changed files in /etc/ : find /rw/ | grep "/rw/overlay-rw/etc/" 
5. Let's say, you found this file, and you know you modified it: /rw/overlay-rw/etc/check_mk/logwatch.cfg
   1. You can remove the changes by running rm /rw/overlay-rw/etc/check_mk/logwatch.cfg
   2. Do NOT remove the file at /etc/check_mk/logwatch.cfg! This would remove the whole file and not only custom changes!
6. Congratulations, you have reverted the file to its factory default.
