Resetting everything while retaining everything you need is sort of a tall order. Perhaps you should describe what's disorganized. Fixing whatever is wrong will almost certainly be easier than erasing your Mac and reconfiguring everything from the ground up.
This marvelous (and free) utility EtreCheck can gather heaps of data about your Mac and present it in a concise format. It is very likely to point you in the right direction. If you need help interpreting it post its report here. To learn about it start by reading How to use the Add Text Feature When Posting Large Amounts of Text, i.e. an Etrecheck Report - Apple Community.
