Unfortunately, the only clean way is to back up your data and reinstall.
(You could maybe do some craziness with an x86_64 rescue disk, but that
seems like more work.)

When you *do* reinstall, I suggest making a separate /home partition and
keeping all of your important data there. Then, next time something like
this comes up, you can do a new install onto the system partition and
carefully make sure that /home is not reformatted during install.
