Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
Sounds like you have yourself a nice case of filesystem corruption.If your intent is to wipe out Rockbox entirely you could likely do this trivially by booting the original firmware and restoring the device, and then transferring an unpatched original firmware to the device and rebooting.[Saint]
Are you actually safely removing the player or just plugging the cable? The latter is something you should never do with removable drives (of any kind) and frequently the reason for filesystem errors. Which is, as Saint said, likely your problem. Run chkdsk /f to fix them.

I've booted the original software many times by holding the power button and the volume down button together. I've also followed this with extracting the new, fresh firmware to the device while the sansa OS is running. The player still boots up with RB.

Reporting back. I did a chkdsk on /f, thorugh windows and through DOS.
Saint said to boot the original firmware, but I'm not sure how to do this since I already have the new firmware on there. What do I do?
