Nothing on the shelf matches . Clear the filter with Escape, or widen the platform. If the fault is not on this shelf either, take a diagnostic log and open a case — see the removal steps.
Everything below exists because of this one. Start here if the fault is in the application itself rather than in the machine around it.

For stores and indexes. Take the export before you take the repair — a good third of these can write to a store, and one of them is accurate enough to frighten people.
Rebuilds index files a crash left half-written. The index is derived data; the records behind it are not touched, which is why this one is safe to run at three in the morning.

Takes a verified export of a data store before anything else touches it. Writes only to the folder you name, and refuses to write inside the store itself.

Compares record checksums against the journal without writing anything at all. Run it before and after a repair to find out whether the repair was honest.
