What size is this drive?
You might be able to do an "upgrade install", and "Keep nothing".
Or just a regular 'install', and kill off all partitions. Ending up with a bare OS install.
What are you trying to keep, and what are you wanting to get rid of?
If it's a legit/activated install, there should be no fear of damaging the OS, just boot off the install media, select custom install, and delete partitions, and do a full fresh reinstall...
From USB install media to any decent SSD, this takes under 10 min these days....(and if to a good M.2 NVME drive, about 4 minutes)
