Two days back, I deleted some unused projects from Neo4j Desktop (to create more space to load my next dataset). Today, when I tried to start up Neo4j Desktop again, I get this error -

I tried restarting Neo4j Desktop several times, and each time, it's the same thing.

I checked the "developer tools" tab, and there is a whole bunch of stuff in the console. I put all of it in this gist, if it helps.

Here's the relevant portion of the console which has this error message -

There are several questions on stack overflow where people report the exact same issue. Here's one from SO where it was answered on March 1, 2018 that it was a known bug and it would be resolved in the next release.

Using neo4j Desktop. I am getting the same error. Did you get any solution?

No, no one seems to be monitoring the issues in this repo.

For me, what worked was uninstalling and reinstalling neo4j desktop. Fortunately, I remembered the approximate sizes of my previous DBs in neo4j desktop, so I was able to figure out which folder on my hard disk corresponds to which project in neo4j desktop, based on the folder size. Then I copied over the folders to a new location, and after I created a new project in the re-installed neo4j desktop, I was able to swap out the graph.db folder from the previous backup, to the new project location.

Also getting this erorr. What I did was simply delete the one and only existing "Project". I've tried reinstalling and deleting all of my db files. Issue persists.

Yo, you can fix this by deleting the ".Neo4jDesktop" user data folder (typically) found under "C:\Users\\".

It works as expected now.

I found this from a StackOverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50153885/neo4j-error-win-10-initialization-error-typeerror-cannot-read-property-n

So please upvote that person's post. Thanks.
