That command is for computers with BIOS firmware. It's the wrong
command for computers with UEFI firmware.

And to make things a bit more confusing, it matters what version of
Fedora you're using as there have been changes in Fedora 30.

What you originally asked for is how to "regenerate" grub files, which
is somewhat vague what you're really after. There are many grub files
and they aren't all put where they are the same way. You're better off
telling us what the problem is, exactly, otherwise this is a spaghetti
on the wall approach to solving the problem.

There's no way for anyone to confirm or deny that should work because
we have no idea what your GRUB thinks the physical device and
partition for the GRUB root and prefix should be. That's pretty deep
in the weeds.

You're best off explaining what you did just prior to the problem, and
describe the problem in terms of what does happen and what you expect
should happen instead (i.e. I can't boot, is not descriptive enough).
