Lightroom Classic Corrupt Catalogue.

Lightroom Classic Corrupt Catalogue Message

 

I am unable to open Lightroom Classic. I get a message telling me that the catalogue is corrupt, needs repairing but repair is not successful. Choose another catalogue, all are corrupt. Have Uninstalled Lightroom Classic and Reinstalled but still have the same problem. Any suggestions please, driving me nuts.

Restore a recent backup. Unzip the backup catalog, put the unzipped catalog in a brand new empty folder (best to place the unzipped backup catalog in that new folder on a different disk than the original), double-click on it to open it.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
