Cannot repair boot with Boot-Repair into Ubuntu 22.10

va flag

I have accidentally deleted some files on my Ubuntu 22.10 (bin, lip, sbin). Then I restarted my PC and it is not booting anymore. I have inserted an old bootable Ubuntu 22.04 and install boot-repair, when I run it I get this error:

Please enable a repository containing the [grub-efi] packages in the  
software sources of Ubuntu 22.10 (mapper/vgubuntu-root). Then try again.

Suggested repair: ______________________________________________________________

The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility will purge (in order to enable-lvm) and reinstall the grub-efi of
mapper/vgubuntu-root,
using the following options:  nvme0n1p1/boot/efi
Additional repair will be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s use-standard-efi-file



Final advice in case of suggested repair: ______________________________________

Please do not forget to make your UEFI firmware boot on the Ubuntu 22.10 entry (nvme0n1p1/efi/****/grub****.efi (**** will be updated in the final message) file) !

Is there any way to fix it or i need to install a fresh one?

If you deleted `/bin`, etc it is not about repairing boot. You need to re-install.

Yeah i have deleted bin, lib and sbin directories

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
