Version error- and nothing fixes it

Hi there! I'm an undergrad student working on my thesis research, and halfway through my project Zotero totally stopped working. I use a 2020 MacBook Air, I've never really had issues before. Every time I try to launch the app, I get this message:

"This Zotero database requires Zotero 5.0.97-beta.15+205fe7f03 or later.
Current version: 5.0.96.2
Please upgrade to the latest version from zotero.org."

I swear I've updated it a million times- specifically to that beta as well. But the program doesn't seem to recognize it... I've deleted it, re-installed, restarted my Mac, etc...

anyways, if anyone has any ideas on how to fix it, please let me know!!
  • Not sure what you mean by "specifically to that beta". You would get this if you're running Zotero 5.0.96.2 rather than the Zotero beta.
  • Turns out I'm dumb. I deleted Zotero off of my laptop (apparently I was doing that wrong originally!) and things are great now! Thanks though.
