Has it ever worked?
Did you recently install an update?
How long are you waiting?
Do you have a secondary profile you can try?
Are you able to get to the Advanced Startup Options by holding down the Shift key and then clicking the Power > Restart button. Once it restarts then you should be thrown into the Troubleshooter section. Select Advanced and try Safe Mode. If you're able to get in via Safe Mode then it is most likely something with the startup apps you have.

If you deleted files and then moved to another computer then most likely your profile is corrupt and/or Windows. Deleting files is almost never recommended.

I would recommend you attempt to repair the Windows installation first. After that then you can try to log in again. If that doesn't work then your profile is corrupted and you'll have to create a new one.

Unfortunately if you cannot log in after that, you have no additional profiles and safe mode doesn't work then the only real option left is to reinstall Windows and create a new profile. Assuming you don't delete the original copy of Windows you might be able to recover any documents from the old profile.

In the future do not just delete files as there is a strong chance you'll corrupt your profile.
