Okay so I was trying to dual boot another small OS with my Kali and I wasn't thinking and I delete my encrypted volume. After grub loads up I get:
Volume group Kali not found
Skipping volume group Kali
Unable to find LVM volume Kali/root
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
No volume group found
No volume group found
Begin: Waiting for encrypted source device... ... [2.692061] Switched to clock source tsc

Check cryptopts=source= bootarg: cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules; ls /dev-r ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/long number here does not exist.
Dropping to a shell!
Modprobe: module ehci-orion not found in modules.dep

Then it says
Busybox v1.20.2 Debian 1:1.20.0-7 built-in shell ash
Enter help for a list of built in commands.
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
Inittramsfs

And then it just sits there waiting for commands. Is there anyway to fix this or do I have to re install Kali again which I don't want to do because it takes forever to encrypt. Thanks in advanced.

As far as I know, there is nothing cost / time effective you can do to recover the deleted volume. Which is a pain as you can't recover the data from inside the container.

On the plus side... when doing the encrypted install, you can click cancel when it is formatting the encrypted volume... it will still proceed as an encrypted container, but does not write over old data on the drive.
