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?

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

If Lightroom is not open then there should NOT be a .LOCK file next to your catalog.
You need to delete the one file called {Lightroom Catalog-v10.lrcat.lock} to enable you to open the Catalog.
DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING ELSE!
LOCK FILE DELETION - LR-CLASSIC
And your Catalog {Lightroom Catalog-v10}does not have a file-type suffix showing! Why is this? Has it been renamed or the name changed? Other files show their file-type. It should show as {Lightroom Catalog-v10.lrcat} !! with the ".lrcat" file-type.
After deleting the .LOCK file- [Double-Click] on the Catalog file (with its correct file-type suffix) to open it. {Lightroom Catalog-v10.lrcat}
