Reset Google Colaboratory VM

From https://research.google.com/colaboratory/faq.html we can see that:

Code is executed in a virtual machine dedicated to your account. Virtual machines are recycled when idle for a while, and have a maximum lifetime enforced by the system.

Installing extra packages, I kinda fucked up the virtual machine I'm currently on (playing with /etc/apt/sources.list... for example).

Is there a way to force the machine reset or recycle ? If not, do we know the lifetime or idle time before being recycled ?

Thanks

To drop your current backend and start fresh with a new one, select the command 'Reset all runtimes...' from the Runtime menu.
