I accidentally deleted my su and xbin files in my lg optimus elite. I was trying to remove just the superuser app that kept force closing. Can anyone help with this. Maybe put those files up so I can load and regain superuser access? Thanks
 
You have to have superuser status to install the su binary, that's why rooting isn't simply downloading and installing files. Find a rooting program for your phone (like the one you used the first time) and root it again.

BTW, if you remove the superuser app, you also don't have root (except when you're using adb) because su can't get permission from you to give apps superuser status (which is what the superuser app is for).
 
I actually erased the su file so there is no way to get permission back, I think, unless I download the file again. I also erased xbin and I'm not sure if that is past of the problem. Let me know if there is any quick way of fixing this. My phone works fine, it just doesn't have SU permission.

If you truly have rooted your device, then install supersu then busybox.
