I downloaded it wrong and now the whole boot is kinda messed up, but when I look for the Mint partition in Windows it doesn't show up. Should I uninstall it through the bios and if yes how? (I have no idea what kind of laptop I have but it's an HP on windows 10, if that helps)
Ps. Mint terminal is also messed up so I don't think I can use that to uninstall it and it's become the main boot.

what you do is first ensure Windows Fast Startup is off in Windows.
then you check the BIOS mode in msinfo32 and make a mental note
(let's just say for example it states it is in UEFI mode)
then you boot the live USB up in that same mode (example above: in uefi usb storage device mode)
then just run the installer and reinstall over old mint. it gives option

But let's say I want Mint gone from my pc entirely? I'm not tech savy so I think I'll mess up re-installing it.

then just boot the live usb and delete the ext4 partition
then set ur bios to boot first to windows boot manager
then use windows disk management to stretch/extend c: partition back to full remaining size on disk

use the Disks app found in Accessories. just do NOT touch efi or ntfs volumes or winrecover volumes
