Unable to Update to 4.30 on Linux (chromebook machine)
I have a piece I'm in the middle of transcribing to play in ~a month, and The 4.30 update screwed everything up. I got it to open v4.30 exactly once and got apparently just enough work in to make the score incompatible with 4.2 or whatever the last version was. I've tried downloading the update from the link pushed in the app, but it returns "14:02:25.760 | ERROR | main_thread | App::run | error: qrc:/qml/MuseScore/UiComponents/FlatButton.qml:179:5: QML Loader: Binding loop detected for property "itemImplicitWidth"" for a bit and then stops. I'm looking for help either to get around whatever that keeps returning or to delete the program and all associated files to outright redownload.

That error message is a red herring, not the real problem.
If you downloaded the app image version, all the installation libraries are inside the app image file. You don’t need to uninstall anything. Just redownload with a new file name.
If you can post your score, someone here may be able to help with it.
You can look for the hidden file in the Scores directory called “.mscbackup”. Inside, there could be a prior saved copy. You need to rename the file without the starting “.” and without the ending “~”. It’s good to rename the start with old_ to keep it separate from other files. Then move it up one level to the Scores directory, and try open it.
You can be experimental and open it up using a nightly build. https://musescore.org/en/nightly-builds. Read the warnings. The most recent 4.3 “could” work better. The “master” is version 4.4, in development. Risky but worth trying if you are really stuck.
