As per title, how do I reset all custom view setting for all folders that I previously set a custom view mode (icon/list/compact) for? I made a change to the Default View setting in Preferences and I want old folders to use that new setting.

From within Nautilus navigate the menus to Edit->Preferences.
On the main Views tab change the "View new folders using" option to "List View" and the "Default zoom level" option at the bottom to 33%.
I believe it's set by the menu Edit=>Preferences, Views tab, under Icon View Defaults, by the checkbox Text beside icons.

To delete those previously saved (per-folder) view preferences, delete the files in
~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata(Open your home folder and press Ctrl + H to show hidden files).Next time you start Nautilus, all folders should use the view type you set in the preferences.
