        @RIKKO14 correct… in linux most commands return nothing if successful…

        so that is good… you asked to erase a folder
        and it did that

        now restart MagicMirror

        pm2 start MagicMirror

            @RIKKO14 fun… try this

            we need to edit a js file

            cd ~/MagicMirror/js
            nano electron.js
            

            scroll down to

            	let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;
            

            add a bank line after

            on the blank line, copy/paste these lines

            	mainWindow.webContents.on("new-window", function(event, url) {
                  event.preventDefault();
                  // This will open a new Electron window to load the url.
                  shell.openExternal(url);
              });
            

            so it looks like this when you are done

            	let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;
            	mainWindow.webContents.on("new-window", function(event, url) {
                  event.preventDefault();
                  // This will open a new Electron window to load the url.
                  shell.openExternal(url);
              });
            	mainWindow.loadURL(`${prefix}${address}:${config.port}`);
            

            ctrl-o to save the file
            ctrl-x to exit nano
            cd …

            then

            pm2 restart MagicMirror
