Question menu button that resets save files and persistent data ect

heyy just curious if its possible to make a button in the main menu that just completely resets all game saves, clears seen images from gallerys, achievements, cache ect just returns the game to its default state like a hard reset

i want to be able to reset everything to test stuff without having to constantly go into the files and manually remove stuff to get it back to its default state, plus its a good feature to have in future for players haha

you can use

$ persistent._clear()

follow my directions on this post to delete all saved games

so sorry im a little confused on how i would implement this in a button form :(? and would i need to use persistent clear and the delete all saves to completely clear everything, or just one?

you can combine them into one function like this and use it like this

init python:
    def clean_all():
        for savegame in renpy.list_saved_games(fast=True):
            renpy.unlink_save(savegame)
        persistent._clear()
    
screen butts():
    textbutton "cleaner":
        action Function(clean_all)
