Find the folder that GSAK is in. In my coputer it's in the C Drive, then
"program files", then "GSAK". Then go to the "data" folder in the GSAK folder.
There should be a folder there with the name of the database that you were
trying to open (if you've never changed the name of the database it is
"default"). Change the name of that folder to something else. Then when you
open GSAK it should create a new database that is blank (has no chaches in it).
Once that is done you can repopulate the caches with your pocket queries or do
a restore to a previous uncorrupted stated.
