"Your Zotero profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
Hey all. Hope someone can help. In my infinite wisdom, while cleaning up my disk I apparently deleted key Zotero files. I reinstalled, but I'm getting an error every time I try to open the Mac desktop application saying that the Zotero profile cannot be found. Any ideas on how I can get back in business?

The former should be created automatically if it's missing, but if you deleted the profile directory (with the random characters) and left the Zotero/Profiles directory and profiles.ini file, you might need to delete profiles.ini to continue.
