i recently installed arch on a laptop and deleted windows in the process but i want to reinstall it because i wanted to follow the arch guide in the wiki so i could learn on my own.

If you still have the USB you used to boot the Archiso, then just open the arch wiki in a browser of your phone and just reinstall Arch. faitly straightforward. in the partitioning step, just start by deleting the existing partitions and then follow the guide from there

#

wait, if you have not done it yet

#

try getting a list of your current packages (if you used the previous arch install at all) with pacman -Qqe >> packages.txt

#

so you have a base you know you can fall back on

#

and do pacman -S --needed - < packages.txt

#

after you are done with the install and added this txt back into your new one

#

If you would like to of course

#

makes reinstalling with arch pretty easy without a bash script

#

other than that

#

... solved
