The title explains it well. But I installed Mint on a 2nd partition, then deleted it since I no longer used it, and now Grub dumps me to the command line on boot :/

How do I recover?

EDIT: gonna give up. Fuck grub lmao EDIT2: Just reinstalled mint and used the grub it gives to fix everything lmfao

      Can’t you select the path?

      Maybe your BIOS is at the wrong EFI partition

      Make sure your UEFI is retrieving the correct path where you’re installing your grub

      Look at my issue in the past and see if it create an insight to you. Note that some of the commands may be different because I run Arch, so adapt it to your distro

        Afraid I got nothin’ from that. It’s pretty much beyond my abilities.

        Im gonna try installing mint again and letting that fix my grub. if it doesnt, im gonna wipe and redo my install.

        Thanks for trying :)

        EDIT: Yep just stuck mint on the smallest partition the installer would let me and it “fixed” itself lol. Ah well. Until I inevitably distro hop :')
