I don’t think we ever had a sublime-text-3 package. None the less it looks like you can just uninstall sublime-text-3 to fix this.

and lose my current settings?

Our packages only ship the application; uninstalling them doesn’t touch your configuration. But I’m not sure where sublime-text-3 comes from, so to be sure you can simply make a copy of the data folder: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/revert.html
