Resetting Android Device Without Using TWRP

Hello,

 

A while ago I decided to try and install a custom ROM onto my samsung galaxy grand prime (SM-G530W). Unfortunately, after I had installed TWRP, the touch screen wouldnt work and I would end up not being able to unlock the phone and choose to either keep it read-only or root it. This means I can't access the TWRP menu to actually reset the phone manually. I tried some fixes online but nothing worked. Anyways, now I just want to reset it and reinstall normal android to use it as a secondary phone. However, once I put it into download mode I can't figure out how to actually reset the phone. Since I can't use TWRP I need to reset it using my PC, but don't know how to. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks a lot!

Do you have an OTG cable? You can try plugging in a mouse and reset everything that way if it gets detected.
