This conversation has been merged. Please refer the main conversation: Lightroom Classic: Will not launch, it keeps saying another service already has
Catalog 2 open, close this copy and try again?

Move the both files selected above to another location and try to start Lightroom again. (The name of your catalog may be different). When LR does start again, you can delete those two moved files.

"The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “Lightroom Catalog-2.lrcat.lock” can’t be read or written.
