start anew
Wipe the slate
To start anew is to begin again from the beginning, especially after a failure, setback, or significant change: After the divorce, she moved across the country to start anew.
The phrase suggests a fresh start with a clean slate, leaving behind what came before.
More formal than *start over*, which means the same thing.
