There is no completely trivial way to "start over".  I think you could
do the following though, which isn't too complicated:

cd SAGE_ROOT/devel
mv doc-main doc-something       # doc-something could be anything you want
rm doc                                              # delete symlink
../sage -f doc-2.9.1.spkg               # install fresh doc-main

where doc-2.9.1 is the version of doc you want to start fresh with.

Please report back whether this works for you or not.
