Problem syncing

Dear Forum,

My Zotero library is not huge, only 808 items, but for awhile now I am not able to sync. Gives me error no. 191783390 and the following stuff:

[JavaScript Error: "Component returned failure code: 0x8052000b (NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED) [mozIStorageStatement.executeStep]" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/db.js" line: 208}]

  • Your database is corrupted. You can try the DB Repair Tool.
  • Thank you, Dan. I tried to follow the instructions from the DB Repair Tool but to no avail. When I restarted Zotero a message pop up saying that my DB is corrupted. I can't export my library either as it crashes Zotero. Any thoughts?
  • Okay, I seem to have repaired the database, restarted it without the pop up. but now as I try to sync, i get Report ID 229922403 and this:

  • Your database somehow ended up in a very odd state. Paste AGXAD5WC into the Zotero search bar in All Fields & Tags mode. You should see an attachment item. Delete that item and empty the trash, and then try syncing again.
  • Done. Deleted one attachment. Still can't sync...

    Report ID: 1711130107
  • Doesn't look like you fully deleted that item. Make sure you've emptied the trash.
  • Dan, I followed the instructions precisely and emptied the trash. Restarted Zotero. Now the search for AGXAD5WC yields nothing, and yet I get this:

  • <item libraryID="291444" key="AGXAD5WC" itemType="attachment" dateAdded="2013-11-18 18:25:44" dateModified="2016-05-25 20:50:51" deleted="1" sourceItem="EIXWHGEF" linkMode="1" mimeType="text/html" charset="utf-8">
    Sorry, but that item still exists in your library, in the trash (the 'deleted="1"' above). To be clear, this is the Zotero trash, in the left pane of Zotero.

    It's a child item of EIXWHGEF (which may or may not be in the trash).
