How can I reset Vim back to a plain vanilla install?

I have mismatched plugin files floating around ~/.vim; I am experiencing a corrupted behavior within vim itself, and both my .vimrc and .gvimrc are filled with things I don't understand.

Examples: NERDTree plugin displays two identical file drawers on start, settings in .vimrc and .gvimrc aren't manifesting themselves.

Is there any way that I can completely "re-install" vim? Or, is there a way that I can get a new .vim folder, and start over form scratch? I want to learn vim, but it's hard with all these plugins installed. I just want to start with a plain vanilla installation.

Thanks for any help in advance.
