Google is your friend, but basically if you mount the kobo and manually delete everything (back up everything you care about first), and then reset the kobo to factory defaults using a safety pin, it will rebuild its filesystem.

Then resync it using your kobo desktop software, manually copy over any other books you added like before, and it should be fine.

Luckily Kobo started putting the 100 free books in an online update, so you shouldn't lose those. At least, that's been my experience. YMMV.
