I was playing with the star and I made it into some weird looking flower thingy and I cant get it back to a normal star. I Closed the program went back in and even uninstalled and re installed. The funky flower still pops up when I click the star tool. What have I done?

I went into inkscape and my settings for the star are spoke ratio: 0.382, rounded 0.100

sounds like you may have been in the default.svg file, because that is where it goes to each time you start a new svg file.

There is an icon in the top toolbar that looks like a paint brush that appears when a tool is selected. If you click on that the tool will reset to the default. The tools usually keep the settings that were used last.
