I’m new to this and have been trying to get Fallout NV to run on my Chromebook Plus. I had Fallout 3 running great but at some point I did something so that FO3 fails to launch.

Can I do something like a fresh install? I don’t care about losing data/ games.

It creates an arborescence that contains the necessary library for you application to work with a thick layer of magic on top of that to make it all work. This is were my understanding is at at least

Sorry for my ignorance, but could you ELI5 that for me?

I don't know what an arborescence is.

There's another comment that explains it in more details than me but it's a hierarchy of files your C://user/you/appdata...etc and since it branches into multiple choices you can call it an arborescence if you will.
