Bug Description

My Ubuntu install refused to boot after resizing some partitions for another OS (Ubuntu 10.04), so I decided to reinstall, but while doing that the installer crashed after I selected Reinstall. The partition with Ubuntu 18.04 (the one that refused to boot) was labelled as the boot partition. I ended up deleting the partition with ubuntu 10.04. Maybe I did not do it correctly but theoretically deleting that partition shouldn't affect the other partition. Maybe I did something wrong but I do not know.
