I want to get rid of the homebrew and CFW on my Wii, so I can restart on a clean slate with a new SD card, and hack it again, as I think something messed up with the previous time I did it (it was months ago). How might I go about "cleaning up" my Wii?

Thank you to anyone for any and all information pertaining to my issue.

Why is this? If I can't un-hack it, how can I set up my new SD card to work with it?
Because deleting everything for a "fresh start" ("start over", "start from scratch"…) is a bad idea on not only on Wii. The actual modification is done on the internal NAND and a new SD does not change this. You simply place the homebrew apps you want/need in SD:/apps and they should appear in the Homebrew Channel.

Posting a System Check

Please have a look at ModMii as well. It can update/overwrite any existing softmod if you just pretend it was the first time modding this Wii when asked. Don't skip Priiloader (if not already installed) and re-install Priiloader if you ever re-install System Menu).

Good luck and have fun!

The way i homebrew wiis\, the wii can be unhomebrewed. I dont mess with the system menu or any of the oifficial ios. If i wanted to unhack any of my 5 wiis i could just install the stubs that overight the cios, and then delete all custom channels.

I dont do any of that fancy crap or use and of the tools like modmii. I have a simple process that installs homebrew channel, cios236 then the other cios and a few usb loader channels. thats it.
