Clipboard Help & Spell cannot open its database. Throws several DBISAM erros

[flowergardener]

After a system crash and attempted repairs to get running again, Clipboard throws the following errors:
1 Error DBG109: DBISAM Engine Error # 11949 SQL Parsing error - Expected expression but instead found ) in SELECT SQL statement at line 1, column 167

2. Error DB65 DBISAM Engine Error # 11949 SQL Parsing error  etc, etc.  this is some sort of database error.

3. Erro EXDE29: Operation aborted.

4. If I try clicking other commands, then "TableClips: Field 'index not found'

What I have tried so far:
1. Uninstall Clips
2. Windows>Settings>Clipboard>Clipboard History>Turn off Sync across devices.  Also Clear history.
3. Attempt to remove the executable. Normal delete didn't work. File was locked. Went into Safe mode and deleted it.
4. Reinstalled and got a brief message to close clip. It was as if another copy of Clip was running even after deleting everything.
5. Reinstalled Clip.
6. Main window will open but cannot click anything without getting data errors.
It seems as though there are some other locked files hidden somewhere.
7. Tried the reestablish chain command. That failed.
8. I have searched AI and found a lot of suggestions but nothing works.
