Click in the top area, and delete whatever is there, that should get everything back.
Individual brushes are assigned tags using the bottom area and that category appears in the top area when you click the drop down arrow. A quick animation of that https://i.imgur.com/m7gFRDX.mp4
The Gimp docs are here: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tagging.html
If you want to start afresh:
Go to your gimp profile and delete the file tags.xml
Gimp will create a new default file next start up.

!!BANG!! no sympathy, you went over the top and installed a load of extra brushes that you will probably never use.
Works like this, I said
Go to your gimp profile and delete the file tags.xml
Gimp will create a new default file next start up.
That scans the default brushes folder
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\brushes
and your user profile
C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\brushes
..and all those entries are the folders containing the brushes.
Click on one of those to filter just the brushes in the folder. What you really need is a resources manager, but that needs explaining (by someone else).

Also, please note: you can type anything in the filter there and delete it, you cannot delete from the list that is already there! You dont understand this like you think you do. lol. Just FYI.

For information Gimp will make defaults based on folder name, both from installation and user Profile.
How to navigate.
(1) The user installed brushes (2) The active brush shows tag from folder name.
(3) Click on filter to ...err....filter
(4) Any brush not in a folder, example the PS .abr brush, does not have a tag. Clear the filter area (5) to show all brushes.Also, please note: you can type anything in the filter there and delete it, you cannot delete from the list that is already there!

Yes, you really do need to learn ...everything.
