Can I undo a Conda config –append?

I was trying to get conda to recognize an environment that was housed in another directory outside the miniconda3/envs and used

conda config –append /home/name/folder

Now when I try to create a new environment, which I’ve been able to do before, the error:
NotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to a required path.
path: /home/jonathanburton/folder/.conda_envs_dir_test
uid: 501
gid: 20

I think I made a mistake of typing ‘home’ instead of ‘Users/’ and I’m trying to undo the command. I tried reverting and updating my conda but still comes up with this error.

I tried

conda config –append /home/jonathanburton/folder/
to try and get conda to recognize an environment but I think it may have messed something up with the permissions? not sure.
