Question

Lightroom won't open

I've been trying everything all day to get my catalog and just lightroom to open and it won't.

In the catalog file I did try deleting the "lock" file but that didn't help. There are two other files that start trying to sync within the catalog. 

What can I do?

I understand you'd be frustrated with this Lisa.
There was a .lock file which you deleted?
Post a screen shot of the sync issue if you like, but please use the "Insert Photos" icon and not the "Insert/Edit Link" icon in the post reply window.
Some forum help for you below.
When you ask a question you need to provide some basic information

At the moment, unsure. Can you provide the version of Lightroom Classic you are using and your operating system and version?
