Lightroom Classic stuck on Importing files after deleting a partition

[Luke35376686346q]

My Lightroom Classic was working normally until I had to delete a partition in one of my drives to create more space for my C Drive. After I did this, when I tried to import files into a new catalog, it is stuck on "Importing files" . I am importing from an external sd card and I have tried creating new catalogs and re-installing lightroom, but this hasn't seemed to change anything. My version is 10.0.19045

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.
