Lightroom Classic Catalog is empty after I came back to a supposed update

Hey! I just came back after a week on vacation and opened Lightroom Classic to this message:

 

As I couldnt press anything else, i pressed update. I am sure I already had the latest Version Of LRc (14.4) weeks before leaving right when it came out and everything was working perfectly. 

Now my Catalog is empty and when I try to open the previously saved version, also. My last backup was a few months ago, but the one shown here should be my previous catalog which is now saved in "Old Catalogs" but as I said, when I open it it is empty.

 

Please help.

Warm regards

Rafi

It has tried to upgrade the wrong catalog file. Please search your hard disks(s) using your operating system's search feature, to find other catalog files which may be much larger. When you find them, please open each catalog file until you find the one you want.
