Unable to login to LL

[Kirkx]

After booting to another distro, what would be the best commands to delete all files and directories in the broken OS before fresh re-install. I don't want to format the root and home partitions when reinstalling so that the device numbers remain intact. Is this enough:

Code:

rm -rf /media/username/my_LL_folder/*
rm -rf /media/username/my_LL_folder/

or:

Code:

rm -rdf /media/username/my_LL_folder/*
rm -rdf /media/username/my_LL_folder/

In my case LL is installed to:

Code:

/dev/sda21
/dev/sda22

PS: This seems to be the only drawback of using Grub4Dos for booting. You need to manually edit the kernel version after each kernel update and edit device numbers and UUIDs in case some partitions have been realigned.
