I guess I should be patient about further forward progress from engineering folks?

Understood - stand by. 

Thanks Rikk. Reviewed your email. I specifically did not follow the instructions. However the ability to generate the Log from the Lightroom Preferences dialog is crippled by the "Local Catalog Damaged" dialog. Its persistent and doesn't allow any other function of the application. Would it help if I ran the Diagnostic from the Lightroom Sync pane of the Lightroom Classic Preferences?

Do not follow the instructions in the link. Please review my email response.

Providing a little more information in case it may help. They said to delete any files starting with the ID "oz-user-8a3ed05b07c24a063a14ce1d0b960605" and only those files. The files in that folder that deleted are:

• Removed

Rikk, as I mentioned in my email...

Deleted the files as instructed. Loaded Lightroom, which upon loading, promptly displayed the attached dialog, "Local Catalog Damaged". If I click OK, Lightroom immediately closes. When I click the “Learn More” link in the dialog, I’m directed to an Adobe page called "Error | Local Catalog Damaged” at this link "https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/kb/unable-to-move-some-photos.html”. If I don’t click OK, and click outside the Application, the application appears as if its churning through something with a circular blue progress indicator (also attached). If I click back on the app, the Local Catalog Damaged dialog reappears. Should I follow the instructions in the provided link?

It is a very specific case that may not apply to everyone else...

@Rikk  let us in on the solution! 😉

Paul, I am emailing you with repair instructions. 

Got it. Stand by.
