How to solve "Your profile could not be opened correctly" issue in Chrome or Chromium without losing yourprofile May 10, 2010 by Saravanan Thirumuruganathan I use Google Chrome as my default browser. So when I started getting errors saying "Your profile could not be opened correctly" , it was quite annoying. I tried lot of fixes on my own and nothing seemed to work. I checked the forums and most of the solutions were to basically create a new profile which was not acceptable to me. I had quite a bit of idle time today and hence decided to find the root cause. One of the main reasons for my anxiety was the nagging doubt that this might be due to my recent Chrome Extension - Chrome Nanny (for more details see Chrome Nanny – A Leech Block like Extension for Chrome ). It turned out that my extension was innocent but in the process , I found the root cause ! The cause of this issue seems straightforward - Some file or database is corrupted. I tried opening all SQLite databases and they all worked correctly. Most of the other files (esp which had JSON data) too seemed fine to me. The remaining was some data files and I had no way to find how to verify their integrity. I was able to finally solve the issue. I had few solutions which should work. I had listed all of them - so use the one which works for you. Method 1 : Check if there is any zombie processes This is probably the most common scenario. If you get an error “Your profile could not be opened” , close all Chrome windows. Now check using ps if there is any chrome process still alive. A simple ps –aux | grep –i chrome or ps –aux | grep –i chromium should do. If there is any processes still alive kill them (use kill, pkill or killall). Make sure all chrome processes are dead and start Chrome again. If the error does not come again, great ! Else follow the other steps. If you are in Windows, then use the task explorer to kill all chrome processes. Method 2 : Removing Web Data file Try this method first as this was the issue in my system. Google Chrome has a file called "Web Data" which stores lot of info in it - including your passwords (wink wink). In my case this file was corrupted. I deleted this file and all worked well. If you are in Linux , you can find the "Web Data" file at ~/.config/google-chrome/Default (if you are using Chrome) or at ~/.config/chromium/Default (if you are using Chromium). If you are in Windows (atleast in Windows 7), the file
