"Database upgrade error"

kgrimes
Zotero will not open on Mac Monterey 12.5. I get the following error message:

Database upgrade error

Unix error 13 during operation remove on file /Users/kgrimes/Zotero/zotero.sqlite.1.bak (Permission denied)
(No stack trace)
From previous event:
ZoteroService@file:///Applications/Zotero.app/Contents/Resources/components/zotero-service.js:346:7
@chrome://zotero/content/include.js:4:14

I have restarted, I have already downloaded the current Zotero, but nothing seems to work. I can still use the online version of my database, but the local version always hangs at start up. Any suggestions?

Many thank, Kyle

    That means there's a problem with the file permissions in your Zotero data directory. This would usually happen if you copied the files from another computer or user account — it wouldn't really happen on its own.

    You'll need to use Get Info in Finder to fix the permissions.
