Urgent, locked out of ZorinOS

I guess this is a lesson learned, dont download anything unless you sure you got the OS space for it, and also dont download a lot of stuff using the same partition that your OS is on. Everything was on the same partition. I must have corrupted my OS.

Are you now fixed, or still have a problem?

While both is true, I highly advise that computer uses maintain a 50% capacity on their O.S. drive. I know that seems like a lot for a user to never allow it to fill greater than half-full, but it is a lifesaver.
Preferably, have one drive for the O.S. and installed software and another drive for data storage (including Steam Games).

The drive is still corrupt. I cant even copy the 500GB SSD using Grsync without getting 23 error codes. I ordered a cheap 256 GB SSD and am awaiting its arrival in the mail. Then I will create a dual boot of windows 10 and zorin or ubuntu with it. I will use the new SSD to rescue the corrupt 500GB ZorinOS. My rescue Zorin USB kept crashing, wasnt enough CPU/RAM.

See my post here for an update on me backing up and recovering my ZorinOS 16 that was on an internal SSD.
