I have rebuilt our WordPress website on a different website builder. My plan is to delete the website and then redirect the new website on the new builder to our domain. What is the best way to make a complete local backup of our website so that, in the very off chance that I’ll want to switch back to WordPress at some point, I’ll be able to restore my old site with the least amount of steps.

UpdraftPlus backup free now does migrations and that is what I use on hundreds of sites. Click backup and then download to your desktop. https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/plugins/updraftplus-backup-plugin/#Download-a-WordPress-Backup
Least amount of steps: All In One Migration (plugin)
If you don’t want to use any plugins: Export the database as an sql, backup the themes, plugins, mu-plugins (if it’s there), and uploads folders.
You should be doing backups any way! 😉 +1 for Updraft.
All you actually need is the wp-content folder and a copy of the DB which can be exported from phpmyadmin – for archiving, I’ve found long term this is the best method, as it avoids proprietary back up formats like from Aio migration wpress etc. And are easily imported into a new instance.
