I understand the sentiment well, but I cannot see why format wouldn't
work. It would clear away the cludge of the present problem leaving a
machine ready to be set up fresh. The most likely objection to it is the
loss of valuable files. In that case, why not move as much as possible
to a USB device before doing the other stuff as a safety precaution?
