Failed to open database file

[jademan]

And now none of the previously saved down AUP3 files want to open, they’re getting this same error too. The only Audacity files are a select few ones with the older version that still had the _data folders that came with them, but even some of those receive a similar error.

What can I do to fix this? I’ve tried rebooting, re-installing audacity 4 times, installing 3.0.2, 3.0.0, resetting all configurations and searching around the forum. Would love to get the file back…

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am at a loss for what is plaguing your machine. Here are some ideas:

1. Run Tools > Reset Configuration

2. Uninstall all versions of Audacity, and then Install Audacity 3.0.4 from Audacity ® | Downloads

It may be worthwhile perusing these forum posts that also reported a sqlite3 error 14:

Project saved will not reopen or allow export of audio file

I’ve been using Audacity, including the newest version for several years, no problems. I have a new desktop computer running Windows 10 Home edition, and have downloaded the latest version of Audacity to it, Audacity 3.0.02 I opened a new project and imported an mp3 file to it. I began editing, and saved my work several times as I edited. Everything seemed to be OK. Later I opened another new project, imported another mp3 file and edited it. It would not let me save the project, nor export…

Audacity is unusable

When I try to import something on Audacity, I always get this every time I boot Audacity. 11:10:49: sqlite3 message: (14) os_win.c:46825: (2) winOpen(C:\Users\Peliha\AppData\Local\Audacity\SessionData\New Project 2021-04-28 11-10-49 N-1.aup3unsaved) - The system cannot find the file specified. 11:10:49: sqlite3 message: (14) cannot open file at line 46826 of [7ebdfa80be] 11:10:49: Failed to open primary connection to C:\Users\Peliha\AppData\Local\Audacity\SessionData\New Project 2021-04-2…
