I've been having this issue with LibreOffice where whenever I open it I get the document recovery window below: LibreOffice Document Recovery

The document it's referring to is unrecoverable and I don't care about its contents. If I click discard, the document recover window closes and libreoffice fails to start. If I click start, the status changes to original document recovered. I then click finish and libreoffice again fails to start. The only way I can get libreoffice to start is by clicking the close button on the top right, but the document recover window will be present again next startup.

How can I stop LibreOffice trying to recover unrecoverable documents?

Here are some options:

  1. Start LibreOffice with the --norestore command line option:

    --norestore Disables restart and file recovery after a system crash.

  2. Remove any .~lock.filename.odt# files.

    Note: these files may be hidden.
