HELP! "There was an error starting Zotero"

Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: database disk image is malformed [QUERY: SELECT version FROM version WHERE schema='lastsync'] [PARAMS: ] [ERROR: database disk image is malformed]
Zotero.DBSConnection.prototype.valueQueryAsync,@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/db.js:709:13
From previous event:
*and so on*
