Hacking Vitashell broken, hangs at a black screen

[dankeykang64]

I was getting rid of the retroarch folder after uninstalling the program using Vitashell, which caused VS to freeze. After waiting a while, I closed VS and rebooted it but now it hangs at a black screen forever. I tried reinstalling Vitashell from the HB shop but nothing works.

Did you try a rebuilding the database ? Mostly fixes things....

try deleting the vita shell folder on the root of ux0 and any vita shell updates from the patch folder. then, reinstall.

No solutions I could find worked, but I was able to find one, which happens to not require any reinstallation. Open it, scroll until getting to USB Connection then connect the Vita via USB to a PC or anything other device that allows browsing USB drives. Go to the Vita's USB drive directory (e.g. D:\VitaShell\internal on Windows). Delete or rename lastdir.txt or open it in any standard text editor. Change the file path defined by the file to a non-problematic folder or anything that's not a valid folder path.

Awesome thanks for the help! I just used an SD card reader with my pc and accessed the file to delete it.
