  If you remove the preview cache folder and the problem persists, then most likely you have found the wrong preview cache (it's for a different catalog previews) and you must find the right cache overview. You should use the search function of your operating system to find all files whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA and remove each of them until you can open your Lightroom Catalog.

  I guess you know where your file catalog (lrcat). In the same folder is a folder of lrdata of previews that you must delete or rename in the Explorer, then start LR again.

  If I made erroneous assumptions that above, sorry, and we will go back on it from the beginning.

  Hi Gary

  Greetings!

  You must remove the preview for your Lightroom Catalog Cache.

  It is located in the same folder as the catalog in Lightroom. The name of the cache an extract ends with Previews.LRDATA and should be deleted. Not to be confused with *. LRCAT, which should not be deleted. Here is a picture of what it is named as default LightroomcatalogPreviews.Lrdata.

  Location /Pictures/Lightroom on Mac and my Pictures\Lightroom on Windows Pictures/Lightroom on MAC

  Delete this folder and restart Lightroom

  You must remove this file previews.lrdata. It won't do any harm, and it does not solve the problem.
