HDD failed. knocked out Thunderbird. Now I keep getting "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
as stated in the title, my HDD failed the other day and on recovery, my Thunderbird seems to have failed too.
I know (sort of) that it is all driven by the Profile.ini file.
But everytime I relaunch TB (even after what I think is an uninstall and a reinstall) I am getting : "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
I would be happy enough to have a blank TB load up and I would reconfigure my various email accounts. but I cannot seem to do even that.
I know there is a trick to getting to a Thunderbird configurator....but I have forgotten what it is.
Where does TB "look" when it starts up? how would I control that?

ahhah, now I remember. Profile Manager. In Terminal: Firefox - p this should allow me to delete my busted profile and restart fresh

Assuming you use windows, the simple approach is this: - delete the thunderbird folder at c:\users\<yourid>\appata\roaming - reinstall thunderbird.
I should have been clearer/more complete. I am using Ubuntu Linux (22.04)
