A wipe & rescan deletes everything from the tables. See https://github.com/LMS-Community/slimserver/blob/public/9.0/SQL/SQLite/schema_clear.sql. If you end up with empty genres, then something else might be at play. Please check your files for where the tag might have survived. It could also be there's an album which has some tracks with that genre only, or with multiple genres, and the menu was filtering at the album level or whatever.
