Not running - Fatal LevelDB error: Corruption: error in middle of record:

Ez all,

FIrst post for me. I did have a look in past posts to see if there was an answer to this already. I wasn’t able to find one if there is. If someone could give us a hand, that would be wicked

Installed Bitcoin Core v30. It was running ok, got to about 21% on the sync and then and stopped running.

This is the last few entries of the log, to give you an idea of where it seems to have gone wrong. I can add the full log if required?

It has failed 3 times now

Cheers
