so i want to delete bookmarks, passwords, cookies, site history, everything!!!

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but somehow it didnt remove my passwords (and no i didnt enable sync after reinstall)

Reason: I have just spent a good amount of time cleaning up old passwords that i dont use anymore or have changed and not been updated from some reason. When i re-enable sync, I dont want the saved passwords from my phone to resync to my PC. To be absolutely sure that this doesnt happen i would like to just resync all the data to my phone from my sync account.

Hi

To take Firefox for Android back to a "first run" state, open the Android Settings app, select Applications and find Firefox. Under "Storage, select the option to clear data.

This will clear everything from the app with no hope of recovery on the device - use with care

This is not true. I cleared my firefox data, but on top of it uninstalled the app afterwards. Then I reinstalled, checked if everything is in vanilla state. Then I logged into my firefox account again (which has no passwords) and yet the passwords synced back to my android mobile firefox.
