I strongly suspect that you have the Lightroom folder on OneDrive, which is not recommended, and this could well be the cause of your problems.
Your last used catalog (green) is the 13-3-2. The files marked in red should normally be deleted when you close LrC.
Your Backups folder was last changed on the same day as the regular catalog, so you seem to have a recent backup.
Open the Backups folder, find the folder with the most recent date, open that folder and unzip the zip file (backups are zipped) to a new folder outside of OneDrive.
Then double-click the catalog file to launch LrC.
Oh, good catch by Pat Berntsen, OneDrive.
Your screenshot of that folder was a bit tight, as such I do not see what drive, and more importantly what folder that is in. I suspect the Windows Pictures Folder. The Pictures Folder, and the Documents Folder, and sometimes the Desktop are all Libraries that OneDrive can/will latch onto.
I overlooked those green check marks and the Blue Cloud icon, I think that means OneDrive.
While one member thinks LrC on OneDrive is match made in Heaven, many other members think that it is Hell. I for one recommend avoiding LrC being mixed up with OneDrive like the Plague.
I would recommend that you create on a hard drive connected to your computer, internal or external, a Folder all alone. Perhaps call it MyPhotos, or Lightroom, or Rumplestiltskin, anything other than Pictures. Then copy the catalog(s) to that folder. I have no idea where your photos are, despite apparent ADOBE support for them being in the cloud (like OneDrive) avoid that and copy/move them as well. You may need to deal with missing folders or photos after that in LrC.
As for that Backup Folder. Remember to keep backups on a separate media from the working files, a different hard drive, and remember to have multiple backups.
