Reinstall Ubuntu 18.04 from Scratch

Question

I am actually with Ubuntu 18.04, but there is too much scrap. I would like to reinstall Ubuntu 18.04 without using an ISO file. I would like to reinstall it directly from the terminal. Is it something doable?

Does this answer your question? Ubuntu equivalent of system restore? Does it exist? — user535733, Mar 29 '20 at 01:29
Too much scrap? Packages can be install --reinstall which seems to be what you're after, but it's not quite the same effect as a re-install via booting an ISO (which itself can be done many ways; clean or new system, or re-install without overwriting data & user settings/configs etc) — guiverc, Mar 29 '20 at 01:29
It is because I switch from French to English, but all the Download are still heading to ''Téléchargement'' instead of ''Download''. How can I change that? — jgauth, Mar 29 '20 at 01:32

I dont know any way to do it without an iso.

I can suggest you see this site, to install ubuntu from windows without a CD or a USB. You can do it from windows, and maybe even from linux also(UNetbootin have a linux download). I dont know if you can install from the same SO that you want to unistall, but you can try it, or maybe search more about the UNetbootin program.
