Spyder crashed and now seems unusable

Question

Hello, I have a problem with spyder. My PC crashed and I had to turn it off forcing it. I had spyder open, and now the IDE doesn't work, and doesn't save any files.

When I open it it says to me "spyder has an internal problem", and when I look for more details it gives me this:

Can someone help me? What should I do?

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

if nothing works, just full uninstall and reinstall

Yeah that's what I did at the end, nothing seemed to work

Answer 2

Try the command

spyder --reset

I tried and now it doesn't even initialize it, I don't know what's going on
