Hi and welcome to SO. Do you have some commit (hash) that you want to revert to or do you want to start completely fresh? There are many similar questions but I don't know if they are what you are looking for. Please provide a little bit more information so that we can help you :) EDIT: possible duplicate of: stackoverflow.com/questions/49067898/…

This question will help you find the commit you want: How do I view all commits for a specific day?
With your example, the first commit listed by this command is the one you want:
git log --until="2018-09-01"
Then you can use @phd's suggestion and reset your sandbox to that commit's sha1:
git reset --hard <sha1>
Warning: this reset command will also move the HEAD of your current branch to that commit. This is probably what you want but you need to be aware of it.
Unfortunately, you will have to do this for each branch one at a time, so I realize this is not the global solution you're looking for.
As for the reflog, I've looked at what expire does, and it cleans older references. I don't see how to remove the newest lines in the reflog, since that's contrary to what the reflog is intended to do. However, the reflog is stored in .git/logs/HEAD. Manually deleting lines from that file works, but I don't see an easy way to find which of those lines are after a specific date. If you edit this file, keep in mind the most recent entries are at the end, not at the beginning like git reflog shows.
