Stuck on "Loading items..." Report ID: 1765989369

Hi,

Zotero standalone hasn't loaded my library for a few days, despite being on. I read that data directories in cloud storage could corrupt the library, so I copied the Zotero folder. Not sure if I need a completely new folder if the corruption is present. It didn't work. Neither did uninstalling and reinstalling the standalone software.

Report ID is 1765989369

    database disk image is malformed
    Yes, your database is corrupted. Make sure the data directory is out of the cloud storage folder and try the DB Repair Tool.

    The automated method for DB repair isn't possible for me because my library size is over 100 MB, even when in a compressed zip folder.

    I tried the manual method with SQLite, even placing the sqlite3.exe file in the same folder as the zotero.sqlite data directory (as described here: (https://www.zotero.org/utils/dbfix/manual). The data directory was copied outside of the Google Drive cloud. Although a dump.sql file is created, it either has 0 or 1 KB size. Additionally, the command line never completes the run, so I have to restart the shell to get a new line. When I write in the new .sqlite.new file, a SQLite syntax error occurs and the .sqlite.new file has no data (0 KB).

    Any suggestions? The sqlite3.exe file was downloaded from the 32 bit tool bundle.

    Sorry, I recently updated the steps for Windows and left out a word in that command. Try again.
