If you want to fully reset your CS:GO settings back to default, the fastest way is to delete your config file. Navigate to the CS:GO folder in your Steam directory, find the 'cfg' folder and delete the config.cfg file. When you restart CS:GO, the game will create a new config file with all the default settings. Just remember, this will wipe all your custom settings, so you might want to back up anything you want to keep!

IMHO, just tweak settings manually back to default. Who has the time to re-download the whole game or mess with game files?

Just uninstall and reinstall the game, honestly. It's the nuclear option but guarantees a complete reset. Plus, you get to start fresh, which can be a nice feeling if you've been tweaking settings for ages.

Reinstall for a full reset? Nope. Use the 'reset to default' option in the game settings. It's less hassle and you won't risk deleting something important.
