You may need to clear your app’s cache when the local database has become corrupt or has some erroneous data in it. This can happen when the application upgrade fails, your computer has suddenly crashed or the computer hard disk is faulty or full.
Please note that clearing the local data from Toggl Track desktop apps deletes all of your unsynced data.
Instructions for Windows
1. Access Preferences
2. Scroll to the bottom and click on "Clear cache"

Clearing the Database Manually
If you’re unable to open the app, then you need to physically delete some files in order to flush the local database.

2. Type the following then hit Return
open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Toggl3. In the Finder window that opens delete every file and folder from within the "production" directory.
OSX: App Store version
1. Open Terminal.
2. Type the following then hit Return:
open ~/Library/Containers/com.toggl.toggldesktop.TogglDesktop/Data/Library/Application\ Support/Toggl3. In the Finder window that opens delete every file and folder from within the "production" directory.
