You have probably deleted too much from your home dir.

Have a look inside /etc/skel, it contains the files which are
copied to the homedir of just created users.
You will find some bash related files, which you could be missing.
Copy them to your dir and adjust the owner.
Then relogin (or "su -l myuser").
