Large Corrupted Project

Hi, so I use Audacity for editing a Dungeons and Dragons podcast with my friends. While editing this week’s episode, I ran into an issue where it wasn’t letting me edit on a person’s track in the project. Each time I tried cutting something from it or interacting with it in general, it would give me an error that it couldn’t read a file on my hard drive. After this happened for a while, I tried closing out the project and re-opening it. Whenever I went to open the project file, I am met with a “Project is corrupt (unable to work with block files)” error message. I don’t know how to fix this and would love some help. I’ve pasted the log below. I’m using Windows 10 and use Audacity 3.1.3.

Yes. Unfortunately, this “11” is SQL shorthand for “The SQLITE_CORRUPT result code indicates that the database file has been corrupted.”

Fortunately, in many cases the issue may be corrected. See the first post in this thread for details: Corrupt or Otherwise Broken Audacity Project Recovery
