Question: While leveling in Skyrim I put a perk in a tree, but now I feel like it is wasted, since I've found blowing things up with spells is much more fun than stabbing things with a giant sword. 

Is there anyway for me to recover the wasted perk? I'm on the PC so I was guessing console commands could help.

Answer: 
There is no way to reset your perks on the Xbox 360 without the Dragonborn DLC, and no way to do it on the PlayStation 3 until Bethesda releases Dragonborn for that console, but you can redo your perks in the PC version of the game by using the [console commands](http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Console):

```
player.removeperk <perk ID>
player.addperk <perk ID>

```

Where `<perk ID>` is replaced with the code for the perk you want to change. [The UESP Wiki](http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Template:Skills_in_Skyrim) contains a list of these codes.

Careful with these: they have been reports that they will brand you a cheater and prevent you from gaining any achievements, but this is disputed.
For PC.

An easy solution related to all perks, so you can basically recreate your char:

This mod will remove all perks and add the right ammount removed as perk points:

If there remain any perks after the above mod being used, use the console to remove them (as explained by [Arkive post](https://gaming.stackexchange.com/a/35140/45976), you can even create a bat file to make it easier later on) and use this mod:  

[Perk Point Potion](http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10836/?)  

to get the right ammount of perk points back.
