How do I fix the LrC not launching? Everytime I try to open it, it says "The Lightroom Catalog "5Q8A1718" is corrupt and cannot be used until it is repaired." i tried everything I know, but I still can't fix it! I can't even uninstall it.

Are you trying to launch Lightroom Classic by double clicking an image? The '5Q8A1718.CR3' is not a catalog, it is a single raw image from a Canon camera. You cannot open a raw image as a catalog. You need to let Lightroom Classic create a catalog and then import the image(s).
