reverted back
Returned to original
Reverted back is a common redundancy, since revert already means to go back to a previous state.
The back adds emphasis but no meaning: The software reverted back to the default settings.
Careful writers prefer revert alone, though reverted back appears frequently in casual speech and writing.
