Reinstall

  • You don’t have the option to delete only plugins and themes.
  • Reinstalling through Web Hosting is a time killer

Reset

  • One Plugin like WP Reset will take care of all
  • One-click reset and you will get a completely new site
  • You have the option to delete all themes and plugins only in one click.

What do we Recommend?

We recommend doing Reset because resetting through a Plugin gives you a more customized option rather than a traditional uninstalling and reinstall. WP Reset Plugin comes with a post-reset set up so you won’t need to manually set options or reactivate plugins and themes after a successful reset. 

If you are doing a manual reinstall or an advanced reset using plugins, better to take a complete site backup before proceeding with it.
