When I try to open LR classic I get the following message "An error has prevented Lightroom Classic from opening this catalog."  I tried rebooting and also followed the instruction to locate the catologue and delete current from the menu. I am working with a pc.

I recently had to reinstalled windows and all the applications on my laptop.

After setting up Adobe Lightroom Classic again, I get the following error when I try to open LrC
Lightroom Classic Error: An error prevented Lightroom Classic from opening this catalog.

I tried this https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-error-catalog-cannot-be-opened-lrcat-lock.htm...
as well as https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/failure-in-opening-catalog.html

But both did help to solve the problem. And I am still getting the same error message.

My catalog is located in this folder.
C:\Users\[username]\OneDrive\Pictures\Lightroom

Appreciate your urgent assistance.

I assume you mean "But both did NOT help to solve the problem." Is that correct?
