If you only want to empty the site of its content (posts, comments, terms, and meta) then there’s a wp-cli command for that:
$ wp site empty
Use the the --uploads parameter to delete all files in the uploads folder and --yes to skip the conformation.
Warning: Remember to backup before testing!
See the wp-cli docs for more information:
