How to factory reset FMC 2500

We need to perform a factory reset on our FMC 2500 that's running 7.0.4. I've been through the CLI and did a lengthy Google search, but I'm not been able to find anything that works. Can someone provide some direction? Thank you.

You will have to re-image it using the iso disk image. Details here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/firepower-management-center/213853-reimage-a-cisco-firesight-management-cen.html

Confirming as mentioned in the other replies - reimage is the only way.
