Help Issue finding "Clear Data"

Recently I installed an app called Home++, just to get extra home screens. So I now have 7 screens. Everytime I hit home, it would ask which app to use and I kept on choosing TwLauncher, then I chose to set that "as Default" by checking the little box on the bottom. I then changed my mind and wanted to switch it, or at least ask everytime I hit Home again. I didn't know how to change the default and proceeded to Google it....I found a lot of people saying to go to: Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Manage Applications>> and then chose "Clear Data" which I can't find for the life of me...so instead, I downloaded yet another app called "Clear Home Data" which did it for me...

What am/was I doing wrong? I still would like to know where this "Clear Data" thing is. I did find something a few days ago for when I was cleaning up my Contacts and I deleted ALL my contacts, but now have them all back..Is this somewhere I missed?

Here is a direct quote from a Google search:
"Just go to Applications / Manage Applications, make sure via Settings / Filters that you're showing all the sys apps too.
Then edit settings for the 'Contact Storage' app and 'Clear Data'.
That will clear all the contacts on your droid.
You may want to turn off sync beforehand
"
 
That's correct what you laid out. Just when you get to "manage apps" click on the one you want to clear data on and proceed. An I understand your question right?

Yeah, you understand it...and I also wound up finding it after I posted when I was on with the T-Mobile Rep...silly me...it was staring me in the face!
 
I think you are confusing "clear data" with "clear defaults". To be able to change what launcher you want you need to just clear defaults, not data.
