I messed my Ubuntu up, I can't login to my Ubuntu, I have tried a couple of ways following the instruction on the Internet but it doesn't work. Now I want to reinstall it on my computer. I know that I can just boot my pc using USB and re-install Ubuntu like I had done when I install it, but I'm afraid that there will be 2 Ubuntu version, which may slow down the system (It's already slow). Some instructions from Internet which tell how to protect the data from losing during the re-installation seem to be complicated for me, I don't care if I lose my data. How could I do this?

Boot from Ubuntu installation media and choose Try Ubuntu without installing
Open GParted and format the existing Ubuntu partition with ext4 file system
Click on Install Ubuntu - when asked what to do, select Something else
Choose the formerly formatted partition to install the root system
Start the installation process and proceed as you did before

You can just boot the Ubuntu installation device, and choose to erase the entire drive before installing.
By the way, having two systems installed will not make your system slower, but you will have less disk space for each system as the drive is partitioned.
