I would back up your data unless you really don't need or care for any of the data


-install lion/do the upgrade through the app store


-once you have upgrade to lion reboot and hold command and R


-you will boot into the recovery partition and you will have an option to use disk utility from which you can repair disk permissions and erase-format your hdd and reinstall lion


here is a link that will be helpfull
