Can I just delete the firewall-vm and the net-vm and create new ones afterwards and shall I just create them in the same way when creating new app-vm’s or standalone-vm’s or how shall I create them when I can’t clone them ?

The possibility for sys-firewall to be compromised is pretty low, but if you wipe/replace sys-net its easy to do the same for sys-firewall 'just in case'.

To do it for sys-net, here is the one-step method in dom0:

sudo blkdiscard /dev/qubes_dom0/vm-sys-net-private

Be careful, as 'blkdiscard' is basically a bulk erase command. There are other ways to do it, such as creating a new replacement for sys-net, but they involve multiple steps and are frankly a bit frustrating to describe and use.

I should have mentioned to shut down sys-net first. Using 'qvm-kill sys-net' from the command line will do this without fuss. Then do the 'blkdiscard' step.

After the 'blkdiscard' you can start the wiped sys-net with 'qvm-start sys-net'. You will need to re-enter any Wifi passwords that you were using.
