requinix Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 If by "clean up" you mean start from scratch then delete everything.

kicken Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Yes, if you dont need any of the data and just want to start fresh then just delete all the existing partitions and create new ones to your liking. OS installers usually provide a way to do this during the install process but you could just use any partition tool as well.

Franz123 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 You need to delete everything and install again the software that you need.
