I have never deleted a repo because it's messed up. In the early days understanding what was wrong was sometimes challenging. But once I learned it it's just routine to clean it up. I do occasionally search stuff from my reflog or trial branches from years ago, no way I want to lose that opportunity. One needs to learn full branch names and how the abbreviations used in daily life really work. A local branch called origin/foo can be confusing, especially after being pushed. And of course one needs to understanding the concept of remote branches in the first place, they are not really remote, typical poor git terminology. For mass mess-ups in the work tree git status -s | grep ... oneliners are your friend.
