removed my mint partition from my kde-neon system and now grub won't boot :-{ - eviltoast

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

    Alright, could you see what the root variable is in the grub console before manually setting it by running echo $root, and if it prints anything, could you run ls / in the grub console and see if you see like home dev etc, or the directories you would expect to see in / inside linux, and if you do see anything, could you run ls /boot/grub/ and see if you see grub.cfg. But if you are already inside linux, go ahead and install grub with --removable, it wont overwrite your current installation. I dont want you to format the efi partition, incase something goes wrong and you wont be able to boot into linux at all

      So echo $root returns (hd0,gpt1). I have to set it to hd0,gpt2 to get the boot/linux dirs. I’ll try --removable and get back to ya
