Bring back linux to original state

[NTA]

Hi
I am new to Linux. I had fedora installed on my PC.I was trying to install
Nios2Linux and made some changes on ~/.bash_profile as

PATH=$PATH:/home/nabeen/nios2-linux/toolchain-build/build/nios2/bin.

Is there any way to bring linux to its original state as it was freshly installed.

Thanks,
NTA

Welcome to the forums!

If you want it just like a fresh install, I think simply doing a fresh install would be the best option. Otherwise, you could probably just copy the .bash_profile file found in /etc/skel to your /home/username directory and you might be able to remove the package you installed using whatever package tool you used to install it.

if .bash_profile is the only change you made you just delete the content you added , then run the following command

. .bash_profile

and you are done.

if you have made some other changes like having insalled something you will need to give more information(like what application did you install and how did you install it-- with yum or by compiling--) for people to help you
