Hi M1m1c
welcome to our forum
:)

what you did, by Deleting an partition,
is to renumber the existing partitions . .

thus the LinuxMint now can't find it's own system partition,
and thus will drop to an Grub prompt.
:arrow:

can you now Boot with your LinuxMint Live Media
aka your usb stick
and find the information about your machine:
viewtopic.php?f=90&t=318644
copy the result of that, back here, on your reply.

do also post output of this command from Terminal

Code: Select all

 sudo parted -l
in code tags, on your reply.
