It's easy to do a reinstall without wiping documents and application 
configurations/settings PROVIDING you have a separate / (root) and /home 
partition.

During partition you select Manual partitioning and assign the existing 
partitions being VERY careful to NOT format the existing /home.

But / where the OS and all applications reside will need to be 
formatted/deleted/overwritten.

Keeping the configuration on your /home might cause the old error to be 
included in the new install...

Although, you error seems to be the system, not the applications.
