Upgrade StorageError using multiple profiles "Your Zotero profile cannot be loaded...."
Hi all, I need your help, since I cannot locate any of my databases and references :<(
[Note: the two threads on this error did not refer on the case there is more than one profile]
Short explanation.
I played with creating a third profile in zotero. Created and deleted.
Now when I try to start Zotero with the 2 old profiles, I get that message!
How can I findout what the problem is and how to solve it?
Long explanation:
I use Zotero standalone for mac with two profiles. [a version of this year, not sure of the number]
Today I created a new 3rd profile called XX.
I started Zotero with that new profile, to make a freshly new database for a new project
Since I saw all my old references in the new profile, I thought, well "it did not work out. I might just come back to use my old default profile".
I proceeded to delete the new profile, and say yes, delete files of the new profile when prompted.
I then applied the solution offered in other post under the same error in mac os x 13.
I could only recovered the first profile, the one using the "default..." prefix.
How can i get the 2nd old profile back?
Thanks !

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
As usual, your comments are so helpful! Just for the record:
The error occurred after updating zotero and creating a new profile, which was opened just once, before being deleted.
The first rare action wasthat the new profile was populated with the data of the default profile.
I proceeded to delete this new profile. Indeed, it dissapeared from profile.ini
But it also dissapeared the entry of an older profile -not the default one-.
Solution?
Well, it was just necessary to re'locate the directories of the old disappeared profile and recreate the entry in profile.ini.
As you suggested Dstillman.
Thanks !
