You can't actually "delete" things. You've already committed them.
Commit means *commit*. In order to delete something, you have to a)
delete it and then b) commit the fact of that deletion.

So don't try to delete everything and start over. Try to *fix* it
instead. Make the files correct and in the correct places. Work with
what you have and correct the mistakes. That will be much simpler to
do.
