I've had the Azure SDK 2.5 and Tools for VS2013 installed and working fine for quite a while. Today I installed the SDK and Tools for VS2015 and now my Azure Storage Emulator won't startup. On the first try to start it I got a SqlException:

Unhandled Exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException:

An error occurred while processing the log for database If possible,

restore from backup. If a backup is not available, it might be

necessary to rebuild the log.

After rebooting the machine, I'm getting a lesser error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator>WAStorageEmulator start Windows Azure Storage Emulator

3.4.0.0 command line tool Error: The storage emulator needs to be initialized. Please run the 'init' command.

But running init doesn't work:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator>WAStorageEmulator init Windows Azure Storage Emulator 3.4.0.0 command line tool Error: Cannot create database.

Starting with -inprocess says my login in failing. I'm an admin on the machine so this is odd.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator>WAStorageEmulator start -inprocess

Windows Azure Storage Emulator 3.4.0.0 command line tool

Cannot open database "WAStorageEmulatorDb34" requested by the login. The login failed.

Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\genslow'.

One or more initialization actions have failed. Resolve these errors before attempting to run the storage emulator again.

Error: Cannot create database 'WAStorageEmulatorDb34' : Database 'WAStorageEmulatorDb34' already exists. Choose a different database name..

So, is there any way to recover from this or should I uninstall everything and start over?

You can use the following process to recover from most init problems involving the database. Note that any data in the emulator currently will be lost.

Delete the SQL instance:

sqllocaldb stop MSSQLLocalDB

sqllocaldb delete MSSQLLocalDB

Now delete the following database files:

%USERPROFILE%\AzureStorageEmulatorDb*.mdf

%USERPROFILE%\AzureStorageEmulatorDb*.ldf

Finally, recreate the sql instance:

sqllocaldb start MSSQLLocalDB

Then retry the emulator init.
