Already tried deleting the db file itself?

Already tried deleting the db file itself?

Of course, with the uninstaller delete the entire folder

Jan 2 one for example is v5.5, I used that

Hi everyone,

I was previously using Cold Turkey Blocker version 4.7. I completely uninstalled it using BCUninstaller, then tried installing versions 4.5 and 4.6. However, I'm still getting the same error every time I launch the app:

Error Reading Database
The database where your settings are stored is locked and can't be read. Try opening Cold Turkey Blocker in a few seconds.

I’ve already checked the task manager and made sure no background processes are running. Has anyone experienced this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

version 4.7 works fine but for 4.5 I'm getting the same error still haven't figured out how to solve it

Latest mac version? Anyone?

Just download python, set up the environment, create a file name.txt, and open CMD, type "python name.txt" and it should be worked.
