Oh-My-Zsh was working fine. I was editing .zshrc file and somethings messed up. Following this post I tried to reset my zsh. I deleted everything related to zsh.
ran:
sudo apt-get purge zsh and sudo apt-get autoremove zsh
Tried to delete it from /usr/bin and /etc/shells and then tried to re-install zsh with apt-get but .zshrc didn't came back. I know I am stupid this here but I had no idea to get it fixed. Please help. I have Oh-My-Zsh already installed but then I messed the ZSH Shell.

So I found a good solution from another thread about .bash_profile that applies here too. If you have a terminal window still open with the previous config:
To get back the defined vars and functions:
$ declare > ~/.zshrc.recovered And to get back aliases
$ alias >> ~/.zshrc.recovered The file .zshrc doesn't come back. Use your backup.
A new file will be created, if you start zsh and follow the configuration steps.
Or start the installation and configuration of oh-my-zsh again. Here are the installation steps.
6I'm pretty sure it gets installed when you install oh-my-zsh. Regardless, here is a basic one from my own oh-my-zsh setup:
# Path to your oh-my-zsh installation. export ZSH=~/.oh-my-zsh export TERM="xterm-256color" # Set name of the theme to load. # Look in ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/ # Optionally, if you set this to "random", it'll load a random theme each # time that oh-my-zsh is loaded. ZSH_THEME="powerlevel9k" # Uncomment the following line to use case-sensitive completion. CASE_SENSITIVE="false" # Uncomment the following line to use hyphen-insensitive completion. Case # sensitive completion must be off. _ and - will be interchangeable. HYPHEN_INSENSITIVE="true" # Uncomment the following line to disable bi-weekly auto-update checks. # DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE="true" # Uncomment the following line to change how often to auto-update (in days). # export UPDATE_ZSH_DAYS=13 # Uncomment the following line to disable colors in ls. # DISABLE_LS_COLORS="true" # Uncomment the following line to disable auto-setting terminal title. # DISABLE_AUTO_TITLE="true" # Uncomment the following line to enable command auto-correction. ENABLE_CORRECTION="true" # Uncomment the following line to display red dots whilst waiting for completion. COMPLETION_WAITING_DOTS="true" # Uncomment the following line if you want to disable marking untracked files # under VCS as dirty. This makes repository status check for large repositories # much, much faster. # DISABLE_UNTRACKED_FILES_DIRTY="true" # Uncomment the following line if you want to change the command execution time # stamp shown in the history command output. # The optional three formats: "mm/dd/yyyy"|"dd.mm.yyyy"|"yyyy-mm-dd" # HIST_STAMPS="mm/dd/yyyy" # Would you like to use another custom folder than $ZSH/custom? # ZSH_CUSTOM=/path/to/new-custom-folder # Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*) # Custom plugins may be added to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/ # Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse) # Add wisely, as too many plugins slow down shell startup. plugins=(git) # User configuration export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" # export MANPATH="/usr/local/man:$MANPATH" source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh # You may need to manually set your language environment # export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 # Preferred editor for local and remote sessions # if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]]; then # export EDITOR='vim' # else # export EDITOR='mvim' # fi # Compilation flags # export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" # ssh # export SSH_KEY_PATH="~/.ssh/dsa_id" # Set personal aliases, overriding those provided by oh-my-zsh libs, # plugins, and themes. Aliases can be placed here, though oh-my-zsh # users are encouraged to define aliases within the ZSH_CUSTOM folder. # For a full list of active aliases, run `alias`. # # Example aliases # alias zshconfig="mate ~/.zshrc" # alias ohmyzsh="mate ~/.oh-my-zsh"
