So, recently I tried to install another linux distro on my dell laptop. I made another post about it, not so long ago. However, I ultimately did something that I think or at least I'm seeing is a bit irreversible. I think I've might have some damage to my laptop. In windows, I deleted the partition that nyanarch (the linux distro that was installed on my laptop alongside Windows) was installed and went back to UEFI and FORGOT I had the boot order to the drive that nyarch was installed. So, now every time I restart my laptop, I see the "grub rescue" terminal. Is there a way to "undo this" or at least get into BIOS to change the boot order. I know about the DEL, ESC, and F12 keys but for some reason my laptop still boots into the grub rescue. If you need the type of laptop I'm using is the Dell 15225 laptop.

I need help finding another distro for my laptop. I'm currently using, don't judge PLEASE, nyanarch. My friend told me about and while I have been enjoying it, mostly because of the manga app that they have, I find myself, most of the time, the system being sluggish or just laggy, if that makes any sense. It could be a hardware issue but I know my computer is not THAT bad. Another thing I am definitely going to need help with is how to completely wipe the current Linux distro from the partition I have it on and installing a new one. I could find a tutorial on yt but I want to hear some suggestions first.
Edit : here's a picture of what I see in the laptops BIOS. The USB in the image DOES NOT BOOT INTO ANYTHING, even though, it has mint, (and other distros that I've tried up to now). Not sure what is going on but when I tried it on my PC it worked just fine. The USB showed up in the boot list. Even tried GPT and MBR file systems and same result.
UPDATE: So, I think I've might have some damage to my laptop. In windows, I deleted the partition that nyanarch was installed and went back to UEFI and FORGOT I had the boot order to the drive that nyarch was installed. So, now every time I restart my laptop, I see the "grub rescue" terminal. I believe I might be cooked.
