When you install, partition your drive.
/home
goes on its own partition and will probably be the largest one. Then you can wipe the/
partition and reinstall all you want, takes 15 minutesIf you've done any weird customisations you may want to make a ba k up of /etc . I wouldn't recommend blindly restoring /etc , but at least you'll have a record of the system configs, should you need to redo stuff post reinstall.
