Error while removing plugins

[adgai19]

A while ago, by mistake I removed packer directory inside ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack. I commented out all plugins and restarted nvim and ran PackerSync. After that I have began having some bugs.

1. I cannot uninstall packages.
2. All my plugins that I had installed are still present and I cannot remove them.

How can I get out of this?

This is what I am getting inside log file

Fascinating error, thanks. The easiest way to get out of this is to just

1. Delete ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer again
2. Follow the packer install instructions from the README
3. Let packer install your plugins again

However, I'm not sure what's causing the actual bug you've uncovered. I'll have to look into that separately.

That worked. Thanks
