Delete everything from ~/.bitcoin except for wallet.dat.

Bitcoin Core developer [PGP] Warning: For most, coin loss is a larger risk than coin theft. A disk can die any time. Regularly back up your wallet through File → Backup Wallet to an external storage or the (encrypted!) cloud. Use a separate offline wallet for storing larger amounts.

You may try to only delete the file named addr.dat first and see if it fixes it Wink
