I was trying to clean up some space on my laptop and stumbled upon a file labeled 'user file'. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I wasn't sure what it was, but I deleted some files inside it. After that, my laptop completely crashed—the screen turned black, and all my icons disappeared except for the trash bin. I'm in a panic here! Can anyone help me get this fixed?

It sounds like you've accidentally deleted a critical system file. You should try booting into safe mode to see if you can run a system recovery from there.
Wait, what happens to all my files if I reinstall? Also, there's still a 'users' folder in my File Explorer. Did I just delete something inside it?
If safe mode doesn't work, you might end up having to reinstall Windows. But don't worry, that can fix the problem.
