Pressing F7 during boot will let you choose from which device to boot. Once you boot from install media and get to point where it asks you where to install there you will be able to delete existing volumes and create new ones. In general that should be good enough, however if you want to completely clean drives process is:
Boot from install media, select ‘Repair your computer’, select ‘Troubleshoot’, run ‘Command Prompt’, run DISKPART, identify number of disk to clean with LIST DISK, make that disk active with SELECT DISK, and run CLEAN
This will create fresh, new System and Recovery partitions. They too can get corrupted so if you are going to start with a fresh Windows 10 partition you might as well start with all fresh partitions.
