Subject: [PATCH] Update intstructions for existing nvim setups (#65)

* Update intstructions for existing nvim setups

If you already had a nvim setup, then this makes it so that the kickstarter can work without a problem. Having that file exist and loaded with plugins gives the script many issues.

Also better to have it be a shell command rather than have the script delete a bunch of files on your computer.
