No Previews after installing 14.0.1

I recently installed 14.0.1 and now previews of images are not showing. I am getting this message:
"Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit"
I found a thread addressing the issue from 2013 but it is locked so posting here as the recommended actions are not working.
Most of the deeper thread comments point to external drive problems as the issue, but this is not my case.
The method for resolving the issue recommends deleting the Preview Cache directory which ends with Previews.LRDATA but I'm not finding that. The closest thing I could find is a large (14gb) Previews.LRDATA file located in the Previous Catalogues folder, not an entire directory.
I tried copying this Previews.LRDATA file to an external drive, deleting the original and restarting LR but no luck.
Any assistance very welcome.
