Has anyone else gotten the below error before? How do I fix this?

This means your database is corrupted, which usually happens if you have your Zotero data directory in a cloud storage folder such as Dropbox or Google Drive. If that's the case, you should move it out immediately and point Zotero at the new location.

To fix your database, you can try the DB Repair Tool.
