macOS preferences factory reset question

Is there an option to make preferences factory reset on macOS ?

Meaning, ONLY preferences factory reset like in an iPhone iOS.

Thanks.

There is an " Erase All Content and Setting " within the System Setting >> General >> Transfer or Reset


Understand before doing this.


The version of Ventura presently installed will not be removed.


It will Remove the User Account and ALL associated Setting, ALL Personal Files and any Third Party Applications
