[GNC] can't open files

[Kenneth Maze]

I hadn’t used gnucash for several months due to illness.  I tried to open and access my data but got a message the file 'could not be found.   The file is in the history list, do you want to remove it?’
 
I selected ‘no’ and the app quit.  I downloaded the latest version of the app and tried again with the same result.  

I don’t want to accidentally erase years of data.  Do I respond ‘yes’ to the message?

thanks
