reinstallation
Putting back again
Reinstallation is the act of installing something again.
Software requires reinstallation when files become corrupted or after a system crash: A clean reinstallation of the operating system fixed the problem.
The term applies to physical objects too—reinstallation of equipment, fixtures, or artwork that was previously removed.
