Will the system update any damaged or deleted or misconfigured system files in the /home/rony directory? If so then this is the shortest method to repair a user's configuration as all other data will remain intact.

When user rony is created, the system files defined by /etc/skel are copied into /home/rony. So yes, if the misconfigured files are present in /etc/skel ,they would be repaired.
