Recovering GRUB and Repairing Your OS Using a Live USB Session
Hello everyone,
I recently faced an issue where I installed the latest kernel and needed to remove the newly installed kernel files from the boot directory. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the entire grub directory in the process. As a result, I couldn't boot my OS since GRUB was missing. Although reinstalling the OS is an option, I didn't want to lose my data. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation or need to repair your OS while preserving your data, here is a step-by-step guide to recover GRUB using a live USB session.
