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?

    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
