Change the terminal app for Docker Quickstart Terminal

I've just installed Docker Toolbox on OSX, and the first time I launched Docker Quickstart Terminal it prompted me to choose which terminal to open in. I stupidly chose iTerm. Now, having realised my usual terminal these days is Terminal, I want to change that setting. But nothing I do seems to reset it.

I've tried running the installer for Docker Toolbox again. I've also tried running the uninstall script from https://github.com/docker/toolbox/blob/master/osx/uninstall.sh and then reinstalling. But every time I click Docker Quickstart Terminal it starts up in iTerm.

Can anyone tell me how I can change this preference?

How do I start docker quick start?

Launch the Docker Quickstart Terminal by clicking the corresponding icon. This starts the creation of the Docker machine and all its components. Click near the $ symbol to activate the terminal. Docker will download and run the “Hello world” container.

After some digging, the default terminal setting seems to be located in

~/Library/Application Support/DockerToolbox/default_terminal 

...and can either be set to iTerm or Terminal.

The simplest way to set it is to remove the file and launch the docker quickstart terminal, that will allow it to prompt for the default once again.
