I made a mistake by upgrading all the way from ubuntu 16.04 to the 19.04 developement version because I wanted to see what it was like. 18.10 installed perfectly, but when I upgraded to 19.04 I was notified that there were some glitches during the install. I had to create my own downloads folder and all downloads still go to Home, and I recently got a System Problem Detected pop up.
I cleared the crash reports, but I got a lot of crashes during 16.04 which made me sick. I am quite OCD about software I spend a lot of time with and knowing there might be multiple bugs in my 19.04 installation makes me quite uncomfortable.
I tried sudo touch /forcefsck which did nothing when I rebooted my system and I created a USB Ubuntu 18.10 Boot Flashdrive and ran every version of fsck and e2fsck I could think of or find online. Every single one of them failed and did nothing. After every sudo fsck command (even using -f), I ran echo $? and it always returned 0 saying no action taken.
How can I successfully do a 'deep clean' of 19.04 to remove as many potential errors in my system as possible? If you're unable to help, I am heavily considering doing a complete reformat of my Ubuntu OS to version 18.10. I am dreading this because of all the software I would need to reinstall, but it's very preferable to thinking I'm stuck living with multiple bugs.
I have a dual boot on my laptop with windows 7 as my second OS.
