[Solved]could not delete address or edit address books after thunderbird upgrade

[Anonymous]

Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique logiciel! 🙂

I use CardBook as a replacement for the built-in contacts and for keeping contacts in sync with my nextcloud instance. Everything was good until thunderbird got an update: I can not see my contacts anymore nor can I edit or delete address books.

Do you have any clue what could be wrong?

Thunderbird: 45.8.0
CardBook: 18.4
System: openSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE desktop

I’ve had the same problem yesterday by switching from Th45 to Th52 and back : to recover, stop Thunderbird, then you have to delete in your profile in storage/permament/chrome/ the file .metadata-v2 (if this is not sufficient also delete  in storage/permament/chrome/idb the file and directory *Ckaoro*)

Thank you for the quick reply.

1. deleting .metadata-v2
   -> no effect
2. deleting file and directory in /idb
   -> no effect
3. deleting ~/.thunderbird/ocpnorvk.default/storage/permanent/chrome/
   => it works!

All contacts are back now.
