Lost storage

Zotero requested yesterday that I upgrade to Zotero 5. What I did. This morning, when I started, zotero was having problems. Then I closed it. When it finalyy opened, I discovered that the library has vanished. When I look into the profile, which is correctly referenced in the preferences menu, I observed that the storage file is not present. But I cannot believe it has been wiped. Where, and how, could I find it?
  • just to make clear: I work on windows 8, and I use chrome.
    I just tried to generate an error report: here it is: 23730117

  • OK, finally I fixed it by understanding you "forced" the new version to create its own storage. Much simpler than the former thing... probably you have mentioned it somewhere but it didn't read it before. Also my library is something like 25 Go so it took time and I was not patient enough...
    SO, now apparently resolved.
