Hi! It looks like you might have tried to start IPFS Desktop and/or IPFS multiple times at the same time. Otherwise, the repository might be corrupt. Have you been able to reproduce this again? Can you try restarting the machine and then starting IPFS Desktop and making sure there is no other IPFS instance running?
