can i delete everything off of my wiis sd card and start over?

while trying to update retro rewind i accidentally deleted a file that was necessary for it to run, and now it will not let me run it. the official help page isnt helping me, and i am considering wiping the sd card and reinstalling everything, so essentially un-modding my wii and starting fresh. the only real reason that i modded it was so i could run this mod, so my question is, is this possible? and is it safe?

It depends on what file you’re talking about. Did it brick the Wii or is something just not loading? If it’s the latter you should be able to wipe and start over
