"Lighroom ran into a problem with your local catalog and must either quit or restart"

Lightroom 8.5.1

Windows 11 Pro, 24H2

While deleting a large number of fotos I got the message "Lighroom ran into a problem with your local catalog and must either quit or restart". When restarting I get the same message. By inspecting from another PC I can see that the fotos are actually deleted, and not moved to the Deleted folder. Any workarounds?
