I was doing some clean up on the files to get more space and while using fileflight, i looked and tried deleting the /local folder, then decided deleting a whole folder was a bad idea and pressed cancel after about 3 seconds.
Fileflight froze and it was impossible to terminate too, so i decided to try and go back to gaming mode to see if i could solve it
Ive been stuck on the booting screen for about an hour.
Im guessing i might have corrupted something by doing the stupidity i just did and ill prolly have to reinstall steamOS but i wanted to see what you guys think i should do?
If it’s showing anything on the display when powering it on it is not bricked. More likely that you corrupted the OS. As you said, you will prolly need to reinstall.
Luckily, if you have an enclosure to throw the disk in, you should be able to recover the /home/ folder and retain most of your user profile settings. If no enclosure, there may be a way to enable SSH outside of the OS and you can use something like WinSCP or Filezilla to recover your data.
Delete system32
Pahahaha…
Now I’m done laughing at you, I will help. You need to reimage your Deck. And next time don’t delete folders if you don’t know what they are.
I’m sorry for laughing. Thankfully you can indeed start again by reinstalling the os. Steam support page has all the instructions
.local houses all important apps so it’s not good to remove any of it. The deletion probably removed Steam or some of the files so it cannot boot now
Use a USB c flash drive and remake your deck. Next time use factory reset if you want to clean house.
