Is there a way to clean all tables or objects within a database and
make it like a brand new database?

TRUNCATE TABLE on each table. If the table has a FOREIGN KEY you'll need to use DELETE TABLE instead (which is slower)

Or script the whole database and run that script against a brand new, empty, database.

But IME most databases need some data at the get-go - config stuff and the like.
