Chrome Popup: Your Profile Could Not Be Opened Correctly

I started experiencing this "Your Profile Could not be opened Correctly" message after the last Chrome update to version 20.0.1132.47

The only solution that worked for my particular setup was to delete the following two files (After making sure all Chrome Windows/tabs & processes are closed)

 “Web Data” and “Web Data-journal” files from the following location on my Windows7 machine:

 C:\Users\[Enter your username here]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default  

Although this solution was posted back in 2011, it still worked for my problem and resolved it without further tinkering.

P.S. I saw other solutions that suggested deleting your whole Chrome data folders & their contents. Make sure you backup your Chrome bookmarks and a list of your current extensions if you decide to go that route so you won't have to lose any of your stuff.
