Error Locking Temporary Folder [SOLVED]

Audacity Help Forum macOS
1

I receive the following error:

Audacity was not able to lock the temporary files directory.
This folder may be in use by another copy of Audacity.
Running two copies of Audacity simultaneously may cause
data loss or cause your system to crash.

I have deleted the install and Audacity app from the Applications folder and reinstalled. To no avail.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

The instructions on this page tell you how to get to the Audacity settings folder. Once there, look for a folder called “SessionData”. Delete any file you find inside that folder.

Do not delete any of the settings file you find there, such as “audacity.cfg”, “pluginregistry.cfg” and “pluginsettings.cfg”.
