I'm testing a move to a new Proxmox server and have messed up moving old config files around. Is there a way to "reset" Proxmox into a state as if it was a fresh install? I'd rather avoid the lengthy process of reinstalling.
[SOLVED] How to reset Proxmox to start fresh without re-installing?

Lengthy process of reinstalling? Have you ever installed VMware or Hyper-V? proxmox installation is superfast.
If you have installed ZFS and created a snapshot after the installation, then yes. Without knowing what you changed, it's hard to tell, but cleaning up /etc/pve should work. It would be best to have another empty proxmox ready for comparison.
Alternative: uninstall all proxmox related stuff with --purge and reinstall it. This should yield an empty install.

Ahhh, having a blonde moment. of course uninstalling app proxmox related stuff should work 
And you're right about the installation length but I'm using soyoustart and to avoid using their proxmox template, I had to boot into rescue mode, then run the installation via qemu :-/
