Ubuntu does not have button for factory reset. Maybe you can try install application and key Resetter to do it.
After downloading it, from ~/Downloads you must:
sudo apt install gdebi
sudo gdebi add-apt-key_1.0-0.5_all.deb
sudo gdebi resetter_3.0.0-stable_all.deb
After it you can do:
sudo resetter
If you choose automatic reset, your system will have a factory reset.

Very interesting but users probably may also want to clean up their home folders. – DK Bose Nov 09 '19 at 12:31

2@DKBose Resetter does that too. I explained that in an answer to the duplicate target question. – Kulfy Nov 09 '19 at 12:42

aptitude(at terminal) and remove anything there I didn't use, then re-installubuntu-desktopwhich should drag back what you are asking for. I've seen scripts that do it (you can see what you've added usually in logs, but with snaps/flatpaks/etc & many methods there is no one place to look...) – guiverc Nov 09 '19 at 10:25
