reinstall

Put back on

To reinstall is to install something again, typically software or an application that was previously removed or has become corrupted: I had to reinstall the operating system after the crash.

Reinstalling often serves as a troubleshooting step when programs malfunction.

The term also applies to physical objects: They reinstalled the shelves after painting.
