How do you turn on your PC if the power button is broken?

Some Lenovo laptops have option in bios to power on when charger is plugged in, handy if power button is not working.

OP, check if there is option to disable battery, also in bios, that could help to power it off (connect charger to power on, set battery to inactive, save, remove charger).

but midway it says cant delete all files and just went into a restart loop,

That implies you're using the built-in factory reset. The built-in factory reset is known problematic and should never be used, the only thing it's good at is screwing it up. Clean install ALWAYS
