The goal of this program as to go through the file and replace the word square with pentagon. This worked correctly, but afterwards I wanted to ask the user if they wanted to keep the newly created file and I am having some errors. Firstly when I enter 'N' or 'n' the file is not actually removed and the program ends, secondly when I enter something random like 'xyz' the program also ends, but as correct is still False it should run through the loop again.
