Missing Library
This morning I opened Zotero for the first time in about a month and I get this message: https://imgur.com/a/YvfVHV4
I cancelled but when Zotero opened up, it was empty, nothing in the library. https://imgur.com/a/DoZIHf9
Same for the synced zotero.org library. Where did my library go? I had about 170 entries in there.

In your current Zotero data directory, what are the names, sizes, and timestamps of all zotero.sqlite* files? Is there a 'storage' directory, and does it contain folders with timestamps corresponding to your previous usage of Zotero?
Thank you for your continued assistance. Listing in the order shown on the linked page:
I started using Zotero in 2019, so it is unlikely to be the upgrade issue.
I only use this computer.
zotero.sqlite (dated today) 4,800KB
zotero.sqlite.bak (dated yesterday) 4,800KB
zotero.sqlite-journal (dated today) 417KB
The storage folder does not exist.
A File explorer search has revealed no other zotero.sqlite* files on This PC.
I used the default data directory.

It's all a bit of a mystery, really. Would Disk Clean-up delete Zotero's database?
Do you have any full backups of this computer?
