Zotero Library unresponsive

jharayer

I have been using Zotero for a couple of years and was cleaning up my library by merging duplicate documents. It was working fine and then all of a sudden Zotero wouldn't merge any documents. Not only that, but the application won't make any changes to the library. I can't add any new documents or entries, I can't delete entries, I can't save anything off of my browser. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the application and still cannot use the application.

How long have you waited? If you deleted a large number of items, there could be a delay at startup, particularly if this is a slow computer or the database isn't on a local SSD.
