I downloaded a fresh version of Mint 17.3 and saved it to a flash drive.
Then I did a clean install and here I am with a nice clean slate.

THANK YOU all for helping this old duffer.
You have no idea how much I appreciate your help and patience.
If only all of humanity was as kind and helpful as you guys, what a wonderful place this planet of ours would be.
