How can i completley wipe my iTunes library and start over?

I messed up my library and by mistake re-named many songs with one title.. also have many 2x or 3x songs.. my itunes is a mess!

How can i completely erase all the songs and start with a new itunes (and then i'll download my past purchases and my files and so on...). I have the latest version of itunes.

Thank you in advance!

OS: Windows 8

Delete the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder.

Make sure you have a backup of all your media files (the /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder).
