I am using linux mint 14 and was in the process of loading block files. I had a power failure and now it tells me failed to read Block. I would delete the blockchain and start over but IDK where to find it. I am not worried about loosing anything. Please help I am frustrated. I tried uninstalling but this did not work. Please be detailed in response I am a noob.

Start the client on the command line with the flag -reindex.
