My QuickBooks database seems corrupt or damaged. What steps can I take to resolve this issue? I’ve tried basic troubleshooting but need guidance on using built-in tools and any advanced methods. Any detailed advice or steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What specifically is corrupt/damaged in QBO? I noticed you posted this in Inventory but tagged adjustments.

To fix a corrupt or damaged QuickBooks database, first back up your company file. Use the QuickBooks File Doctor tool to scan and repair the file. If that doesn’t work, try rebuilding your data by selecting File > Utilities > Rebuild Data. If issues persist, restore from a recent backup or seek help from QuickBooks support for advanced repair options.
