Resolved on Discord, but for future reference:

Database corruptions happen due to sudden shutdowns (typically because of power cuts).

If either blocks, chain, or tree dbs are corrupted, then all these 3 directories (contain blockchain data) must be deleted. This will make Bob start syncing again from 0%, but the wallets will still be present.

If the wallet db is corrupted, then the blockchain data can stay. Rename the wallet folder (effectively "deleting" it while keeping a backup) and start Bob. Import the wallets from seed / connect ledger. There is no need to download blockchain data, but a resync will be required to populate the wallet txs, domains, balance.
