XAMPP Can’t Start MySQL

This is Windows 11, XAMPP 3.30.

Just look at it:

10:46:42 [mysql] Attempting to start MySQL app…
10:46:43 [mysql] Status change detected: running
10:46:46 [mysql] Status change detected: stopped

I started getting this error when I tried to start MySQL in XAMPP recently and I have no idea why. The curious thing is that simply deleting the last log file in the MySQL/data folder fixes the issue:

Do a browse on MySQL logs:

Then delete the last aria_log.000000xx in my case aria_log.00000015.

Then go back and try and start the service again.

I’ve no idea why this is happening or why this fixes it, I’d be happy to know if anyone does!
