You should not remove /Library/Caches like that.
Run the macOS installer again to restore.

As for the garbled screen, it seems likely you did not enable CSM/legacy boot as per guide.
Read the guide carefully regarding correct BIOS settings.

Do you mean I must install again or have a way to restore /Caches ?
I found that I can read and write macOS partition on ubuntu.Can I copy another /Caches to my system to fix this issue?

If you run the installer without erasing, it will refresh the /Library/Caches (and other things you may have damaged).

Of course.
Given you just installed, you should still have the USB...

thank you. However I don't have High Sierra installer... I think I should restore back to Sierra then update again...

I found a option in Recovery "re install". Should I use it? If I use it, do it convert my partitiom to apfs?

No idea.
I have never used that option.

After tried this option. It's run re-install my hackintosh. I affair that it would delete all my data, but luckily, it's not . It's also convert my partition to APFS, luckily that I copy apfs.efi to an NTFS partition before (thank god ). I guess that have no way to convert APFS back to HFS+ without loss data, but APFS is fine for me. I just wonder if APFS boot time slower than HFS+ or not? :/
After the install done, when I press F3 at Clover screen, I see that system have 2 prebooter partition. Could you please tell me what is it?

Those partitions come with the APFS setup you now have.
They are hidden by default via settings in config.plist.

I understood. Thank you . The 1 thing I don't like APFS is I can't mount the partition on another OS. If I make a backup of current macOS by disk util then I format the partition back to HFS+ then restore the OS back, will it work?
