I am running private ethereum blockchain using ethereum and now I want to reset the chain and delete all the contracts, transactions and logs and restart everything from block 0.

Run the private ethereum chain in a docker container... and then you can throw the container or its data and deploy it again in a matter of seconds
those are some examples of how to run a private chain with a docker
