Need Help: "Installing webmanmod" Freeze/PS3 Keeps Restarting

After trying to install webman mod without cobra enabled (forgot to re-enable it) I held L1 for the full installation and it froze. I had to hold the power button to shut it off and now it keeps restarting telling me the files are corrupted. This isn't the first time it said this, it usually happens when a game or app crashes and has to to have the power help to shut it off.

Is there anything I can do to fix it? Can it be fixed by reinstalling Rebug CFW?

Edit: Just found out I can back out to the XMB by pressing circle. Re-installed multiman and working good. Gran Turismo 6 was crashing when booted with webman mod but now works fine with multiman.

I didn't know that webman mod was the only one that had the option to mount and boot games from XMB, installing multiman over webmanmod keeps the option and works.

I am very tempted to abandon wMM now. I simply tried to upgrade to the latest version on Github and after doing that that it shows
nothing in the webMAN Games tab. After uninstalling and re-installing a few times I am now stuck with the file system check loop.

Has anyone else had this kind of issue?
 
If I were you I think I would probably delete my entire wMM installation & start from scratch.
I have not messed much with wMM for a while as I use sMan on my development consoles, but I believe you can use the delete.ps3 command (check syntax variations in the web command thread OP) in the browser (ps3 or pc/phone on lan), reboot for good measure, then reinstall whatever edition you need & reboot again.
It's good practice to rebuild db from recovery mode as well from time to time on CFW, it takes no time at all & it solves many issues.
But Aldo may chime in with better suggestions.

I was able to fix it.

At first though I removed it using the web command that @aldostools had shown me in another thread becuase using its uninstall option kept freezing the system. I also removed all the folders that I could see linked with wMM.

Finally after doing that and then re-installing the Rebug 4.86.1 Lite CFW it is back to normal.

Also, if I may ask what is sMan?

sMan is an evolution of webman & is as simple as webman, very few extra features, just the bare minimum, it can be found in the resources section.

If you need wMM features outside the scope of backup manager, file manager, ftp & fan/temps monitoring, sMan is probably not for you. And like Aldo pointed out it cannot work at the same time as wMM.

To use sMan, copy the sprx where you want on /dev_hdd0 then edit /dev_hdd0/boot_plugins.txt, remove the wMM path & add the sMan sprx full path instead, then reboot.

If you experience glitches when swapping manager, I would suggest uninstalling/deleting wMM before installing sMan & vice versa, it's optional but it may help in case of problems.

I don't think my model has recovery mode.
I tried that option earlier with the CFW Tools and it just restarted.

All systems with a 4.xx firmware have recovery mode, there is no exception, the recovery mode software is deployed as part of the PUP installation & is stored in the Flash memory (nor, nand or emmc).
You must use the proper power button sequence to access it or a homebrew feature that will make the system enter it on next boot.
