Newbie with complete failure of WordPress.org

I am working on a Mac and have previously successfully installed WordPress.org on a localhost.

When working on creating a site using Elementkits plug-in the entire thing failed and I received the following message:

Warning: require_once(/Users/admin/Sites/RemyQuibbler_WP/wp-includes/l10n.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/admin/Sites/RemyQuibbler_WP/wp-settings.php on line 169

I cannot access anything further.

I presume I must uninstall and reinstall and start all over again.

Is there a clean and safe way to do this? I do not wish to have multiple remnants of code ‘clogging’ up the works.

I am unconcerned about losing data as I was only beginning to put a site together and will lose nothing of value.
