Is it possible to erase all the data for a particular time control, like all games and rating stats and reset it to 1500? rating like a new account has? If not can we add this feature?
That's a very strange feature request! Why would you want to reset your data in the first place?
Would be a big fat nope.
Read in the FAQ, ratings won't be reset for specific TCs or variants.
Guess it would be to avoid inflation, if someone is below 1500, that is introducing more points into the system, or prevent sandbagging by shedding points.

@ABC90 cause I am not very happy with the way I am playing at all so many many bad games, I just wished I could go back to the start and reset it all and afresh

You must be joking! Your current ratings prove that.
1967 (bullet)
2126 (blitz)
.. And it's not worth the while to write down the complete list.

Don't feel bad at all! First, you never really know who your opponent is, everything you know is their rating, which is not a complete source of information about their playing strength. As a matter of fact, once a new profile is created, the first victories yield a larger amount of rating points, making it possible for a player's rating to skyrocket to a very high level. Later on, as the number of games increases, the amount of rating points either gained or lost at every game decreases because the rating system is based on uncertainty intervals so, the higher the amount of played games, the more accurate the evaluation process becomes about a player's playing level, which, as a result, tends to stop on a somewhat average value. So, when you see a low rating, you should never underestimate your opponent anyway. First because it's a good general rule and, secondly, because you should also consider the amount of played games. For example, 1800-rated players who have played just a few games might actually be as good as 2150-rated players who have played many more games… you never know. As for your personal blitz and bullet ratings, they have been estimated over a large number of games, which makes them reliable enough for a rating-based judgement about you as a player and you know what? It turns out you are much better than you think. Now to conclude, you have mentioned a long losing streak you got at the hands of lower-rated players, just try and ask yourself what was wrong with you that led to poor performance, find the right answer, it could be everything between tiredness to non-optimal psychological conditions, solve your problem, restore your self-confidence and then get back all the rating points you lost. Good luck and have a nice day!
