Hello all!! First off I’d like to say I love the Hackintosh community I’ve learned a **** ton in such a short time. Down to the nitty gritty. My problem is I accidentally loaded Clover on to my mid 2010 iMac. I know I’m supposed to change the destination to USB but I’m guessing I was tired and up to late and missed it this time around. My computer glitches (Hence why I’m building a Hackintosh) and I had to reboot so now it boots to Clover and when I try booting to MacOS I get the Prohibited sign and nothing happens. After much reading and trying I’ve gotten into Recovery Mode and I can get into Terminal where I can do a ‘ diskutil list ‘ and see my EFI folder is in ‘disk1s1’. There I’ve read I delete the Clover folder and hopefully I’m back in business. My problem is I have no idea how to use Terminal and just be trying to things I’ve read online like mounting the efi folder etc but none of it’s working. Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to get my computer back to booting normally. So many who have had the same problem were able to stay in MacOS I don’t have that luxury and can’t find the appropriate help Gawd help me I’ve looked. Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the rambling.

I'd suggest press 'Option' when booting the iMac and try to start your macOS drive directly if you haven't already. If that works then mount the EFI partition and delete Clover.
