Upgrade StorageReinstall / resync from Zotero server?
There is something very wrong with my local installation.
My library is huge, but it has essentially stopped automatically syncing -- even in Troubleshooting mode and after I disabled all plugins. In TS mode it will sync, but then stop, now it refuses to even update the display, it just shows a white screen and the "reading data" message, trying to update the advanced search for the unindexed files I made -- even though my cursor is on other collections.
I am not making headway with the unindexed files either. I have a whole conference with 400 papers that are in text -- I can select it, copy it to the abstract or a note and it is fine... It shows as "Indexed" but it appears in the search (attachment of type pdf where the content doesn't have a full stop. After opening it and copy and pasting the abstract and then reindexing, it sometimes disappears -- not always.
I am terrified that something will corrupt my data that I worked on so hard...
Can I simply uninstall it locally, delete the directory (or zip it and put it somewhere and reinstall from scratch, downloading my data from the server? I know it will take ages to sync...
Will I lose anything?
What are the risks?
Is there a better way?

Can you provide a Debug ID for Zotero startup through a sync that shows a problem, using the Help → Debug Output Logging → "Restart with Logging Enabled…" option? Forget about full-text indexing for the moment.
