Delete "/Nintendo 3DS" on your SD card (consider cleaning it so all you have is "arm9loaderhax.bin" and "/luma/payloads/<hourglass9, emunand9, godmode9,decrypt9>"). Restore NAND backup (from a working state) with hourglass9. -> That will fix it if you're NAND backup is correct and your SD card isn't faulty.
But if that doesn't work, try ctrtransfer to 9.2 (and cleaning SD card).
---
I feel like the most probable cause is something messed up in the Home Menu's ExData. But the NAND restore should take care of any other possibilities.

Maybe it was a friend code? Although I doubt deleting that would do what the OP is describing. It's the only thing I came up with a quick Google search trying to find another instance of a filename with question marks though. To me it sounds like something is up with the SD card.

Also, not sure if it was mentioned already but try booting without the SD card inserted.

This is very unlikely since it's not possible to delete the friend code from data management system. There are homebrew cias that show as question marks in the management system.

Well from what I gathered from the OP it said a file had a question mark, I took it as the filename had question marks.
In that case the homebrew CIA they deleted had no icon and took up "0" blocks. Still sounding like a SD card issue to me or an ExtData issue as stated above. What homebrew app can you delete that would blank out your Home Menu except for two folders and the game cart slot?
Maybe something relate dto theme management is bad and the timing wastoo unlucky, , OP, just put a arm9loaderhax.bin and make a luma foldre n teh root on a replacement SDif you can boot to the home menu w/o freezing on this, then either A it was a one off that for whatever reason corrupted a theme related file, or your SD is going bad which caused the corruption.
if your sd is going bad then when you restored your backup, you played russian roulette basicly and could of caused More damage or have a bad nand backup.

Well not really. Even if the backup was corrupt and the console would not boot after that due to corrupted system, you'd still be able to boot into Hourglass9 and restore from backup once more with a fresh SD card. And in the worst case scenario where his backup would be corrupt and no other backup available, he'd still be able to recover by doing 9.2 ctr transfer and then updating the console.
Ps. I don't think you can recover from a backup if your NAND image is corrupt either way, because it runs checks on it through the .SHA file and if they don't go through it'll warn you. You could ignore warnings and force it but then that's just you being dumb.

The "Nintendo 3DS" folder can be deleted, it just recreates itself once reinserted. If you actually cant delete the folder, backup the card to your PC and format the card as fat32(not quick format). Then copy back the files/folders without the Nintendo 3DS folder.

@sqloud What brand is the SD card, what class speed, and what capacity?
Additionally, where did you get the SD card?
Corruption is often with a cause, and that cause isn't usually "bad luck" mate.
For all we know, you could have a faulty or even fake SD card.
So before moving on, please answer these questions.

, Reason: asked for the size twice, so I fixed that ¯\(º_o)/¯
Usually when you get errors copying/deleting/moving files that are not in use its a corruption issues when its fat32. Formatting if your friend.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Actually yes their is. A non quick format is a format and a chkdsk with /r. Basically it tells the format program to check every sector of the device you are formatting. If it encounters a bad sector it marks it as bad and takes it out of service. When I had issues with a SD card in a 2DS i tried a quick format and it didn't work, but when I did a full format I no longer had detection/boot issues.
For a small flash card a long format will take a few mins to do, a 2TB hard drive I would agree with you.
Ok so i copied all the folders accept Nintendo 3DS from the old SD card to a new formatted one.
The system is booting propperly, thanx guys! i'm so happy with this.
All downloaded software from the e-shop is gone
All saves are gone
FBI is gone
Homebrew is gone
Luma is gone from the homescreen
e-shop downloads and saves are no problem, i have the whole summer to play and same some new ones.
But how do i get the other stuff back?
And for the other question:
The card was the original SD card that came with the system.

It's not hard. Basically you need to follow the guide again 3ds.guide from the part about injecting FBI into the home and safety app and continue from there.
Install all the apps you want, FBI cia, homebrew launcher loader cia, luma updater cia .etc then restore the home and safety app back and you're done.
Just remember to copy a9lh bin to CTR NAND as part of the guide.
One last thing, once you got everything they way you like it do a full back up of the NAND and SD card to your PC somewhere as a life line if this should happen again and copy that backup to multiple places just in case.

Ye you should go back to 3ds.guide and continue from section V - injecting FBI. and section vi mainly because you also need to copy the arm9loaderhax.bin to CTR NAND. since you weren't able to boot to luma without an sd card.
EDIT: sorry did not read top message basically i second what @SirECK said.
