Clara HD Clara HD N249 Doesn't turn on after delete files on micro SD on PC

Hello, my KOBO Clara HD N249 does not turn on after I deleted all the books from it and folders with dots at the beginning of the title. After pressing the power button, the diode blinks and remains on. I left the book overnight and it didn't turn on. The LED stays on and the screen stays white

The folders that begin with a period are system folders; you can't delete them without causing serious problems. Unless you have a backup, you'll need to do a manual reset.

Thanks for the answer, I solved the problem by writing the flash drive image to a new SD card

Never delete a directory on a Kobo without first knowing what the contents are.
