deleted startup disk so i think i accidentally deleted my startup disk file and some other important stuff while trying to clear system storage. i have tried holding command + r in startup to go into recovery mode but this has not worked either so i may have deleted the file from that too. my macbook air screen is black with a loading symbol in the middle that flashes on and off along with the cursor. does anyone know how to fix this or what to do to reset it? i know this was a silly mistake but i would appreciate any help.

erased startup disk So i was stupid and accidentally deleted the startup disk..i think. I pressed command r , it took me to the utility disk menu and i clicked the first tab under internal . Then i made the mistake of erasing that folder. Now when i restarted my mac a question mark popped up . I looked it up and it says theres a issue with the startup.
