Can I ever play Undertale again normally?
The ending I got is :
the genocide
When I reset my file, my past choices still take effect. I want to start a clean run.
I don't want to buy the game again, what do I do?

If you're running the Steam version of the game, deleting files in the save directory won't be enough. Steam Cloud will automatically restore those files, and it also keeps a local cache of the files to restore them even if you're offline. While it's possible to clear these files out, it's complicated, and a simpler solution exists on Windows if you have sufficient access rights on your computer.
- Go to your computer's save location. (Default on Windows: [User folder]\AppData\Local\UNDERTALE)
- Right click the file system_information_962 or system_information_963, depending on if you are on post-genocide black screen, or post-genocide post-soul-sold.
- Go into properties, then security. Remove [Your username] and [administrators] rights to READ the file. Click apply.
- When you next start up the game, it will be as if you had never done a genocide run ever before.
If you're not playing the Steam version of the game, the simplest method to remove the consequences of completing a genocide run is to fully uninstall and reinstall the game.

Can you completely reset Undertale?
How do I do a true reset in Undertale on a Nintendo Switch? I don't have it on Switch but the truest reset should be: System settings > Data management > Manage save data > Delete save data > Undertale. Or play your genocide run on a separate user profile.Can you true reset after a genocide run?
It's not correct that you cannot perform a True Reset after completeing a Genocide run. Rather, completing a Genocide run causes a permanent flag in the game files to be triggered which impacts a particular part of the game. The flag can be removed in a few ways, but they require resetting the game's files manually.Can you start Undertale over?
When you get to the end of the game on a genocide run, the fallen child will appear and offer you a chance to reset the game at the cost of your soul. If you accept, the game will reset.What happens if you reset Undertale?
Reset. The Reset function is found in the game's menu. This function erases most information stored in a SAVE, such as the protagonist's LV and EXP; resetting, however, does not erase certain variables such as the name. Similarly to loading a SAVE, some characters in the game act differently after a reset.Undertale - How to Truly Reset After a Genocide Run (MAJOR SPOILERS)

Answer 2
If you find where the Undertale save files are located, you can delete them and start fresh. According to this Steam forum post, the save files are in appdata\local\UNDERTALE on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/com.tobyfox.undertale/ on Mac. There is also a save manager available which one of my friends has used successfully, but since it's a third party program use it at your own risk: Undertale Save Manager.
Keep in mind that if you're playing Undertale through Steam, the Steam Cloud saves may attempt to overwrite your save file with the stored version when you try to remove it. Disable it to prevent this from happening.
Answer 3
The best way to clean everything up (including your Steam cloud) would be to use UGR (Undertale Genocide Remover). This is a third-party and, as usual, you should be careful with those. (I personally already used it and it worked fine with no apparent viruses.)
But don't think that YOU will have a clean conscience though. The app make sure to give you chills ;)
Answer 4
If not a steam downloaded version just go to ~/Library/Application Support/com.tobyfox.u and delete all files. Worked for me!
Answer 5
Save Locations
Default save locations are as follows:
- Windows: * Windows XP: %SystemDrive%/Documents and Settings/%USERNAME%/Local/Application Data/UNDERTALE * Windows Vista/7/8/10: %LOCALAPPDATA%/UNDERTALE
- Linux: * DRM-free: ~/.config/UNDERTALE_linux * Steam: ~/.config/UNDERTALE_linux_steamver
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/com.tobyfox.undertale/
Modifying/Deleting Files
To return to a playable state, the player can enter their save data folder and either:
- Delete the last directory in the aforementioned save location for your respective system; this removes everything you have done in the game as if it is your first time playing it
- Delete or rename the files
system_information_962andsystem_information_963in the aforementioned save location. This removes any effects of having done the Genocide Route. Thesystem_information_962file is the one that you have erased the world, andsystem_information_963is when you have sold your soul.- Uninstall the game and do a fresh reinstall. GOG players using GOG Galaxy may need to disable cloud saving before carrying out any of these steps. Also, these methods are not sufficient for players of the Steam version, as the Steam Cloud backs up the acquisition of the system_information files and restores them if deleted (even if cloud synchronization is disabled). Players of the Steam version have to delete their Steam Cloud cache as stated here, or render the system_information files unreadable by ''Undertale'' by modifying their security settings under file properties to deny read permission.
- The Undertale Genocide Remover application automatically removes all Genocide Route files, even those in Steam, when "ERASE" is pressed.
