lubot[telegram] <Halis> Create a new profile and delete the old one. Then purge all manually installed packages (apt list --manual or similar) (re @CapeCrusader321: Anyone knows how to reset lubuntu...)12:24
lubot[telegram] <emergencyrussia> Or just reinstall haha12:25
lubot[telegram] <Halis> Yes, true, however that would be a reinstall and not a reset, however İ would prefer a reinstall anyways12:27

tomreynemergencyrussia: please do not provide this command when people ask how to "reset lubuntu". that's probably not what they mean when they ask this, and moreover, it's a destructive command.16:19
tomreynthere can be situations where this command will also remove the uefi firmware, essentially bricking the device (i understand this should no longer happen on current releases with all updates applied, but you don't know that's the case)16:22
tomreynCapeCrusader321: also for you ^16:23
tomreynuse wipefs to wipe file system signatures as well as the partition signature (-a). note that this does not prevent data recovery (it is not secure deletion).16:28
