reinstall debian and preserve home partition

[nyu-98]

I want to reinstall debian and preserve my home partition with only my documents(music, videos, images) dont't need the hidden folders and config files because i want a 'fresh install'.

What i do with the hidden directories and others files like .bashrc .profile .bash_logout?

Backup the documents you want to keep, reinstall without preserving anything then restore your backups.

If your home is in its own partition /home, like you mentioned, just reinstall but don't format /home partition.

But as noted, always keep fresh backups available.

EDIT: Better read with thought before anwswering, HOAS gave perfect anwser, as usually.

Make a backup of the data before you start.
Delete all files and directories you do not want!!!!
Then install without formatting the home-partition

its works
i reinstalled formatting only root partition and delete all config files in my home partition, in installation i use the same user name and password.
