When I mistakenly execute the command rm in / I delete some things and now I cannot enter the console, I get an error (error file ’/boot/grub/i386-pc/boot.mod’ not found) try to fix it with tutorials but none worked and I wanted to know if they know any way to fix it since I need to log in to take a backup of my database since I can’t access it remotely
Hi @zamorabryan,
It seems like you’ve deleted a really crucial part of the files. Unfortunately, the best and only way would be a backup restore. If you don’t actually have one, I’ll recommend just recreating your droplet.
I know it sounds like a drag however doing an rm on / is pretty much irreversible.

Hey @zamorabryan
@KDSys is right in saying the RM command is a game over moment.
I would restore from your latest backup, if it exists.
If not maybe there is a slim chance you could look at the recovery console to see if any files you wanted where left. However I would not place much hope in that.
