Will LL re-install fully delete previous?

I went to your link.  I don't see enough to warrant a reinstall in my book.  You may want to use Lite Tweaks to do basic cleanup.  Keep using the Linux Lite installation.  If things become a definable pattern of problems, then it's worth a revisit.  But based on what you've described, it just seems like a one-time aberration.

thanks for going to the trouble! Apart from what I wrote, it did suddenly Shut Down once since, but seems ok now. I'll leave it be for now and see how it goes, and if more trouble I'll just simply re-install. It's just for general browsing anyway.

This Linux Lite forum is way ahead of a couple of others I've encountered before, very helpful without the arrogance.
