Gimp failing to load custom anything

I feel like I'm the only one experiencing this from my google searches but randomly as I was working on some illustrations on GIMP 2.8.22, I noticed my tool-presets and some of my palettes were no longer available, they just stopped showing up in dialog boxes. I have tried uninstalling, including getting rid of all the folders, and once I put my custom palettes and presets back in the folder I get failed to load data error. I even tried putting the custom files in another folder and and set the folder management to pull from that folder and I still get the same error. I've never faced this before and it is very aggravating. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Are you sure the user name in the error messages coincide with blanked-out name for your Gimp profile?

Have changed/upgraded/reinstalled your computer / version of Gimp recently?

I can find a copy of those preset folders, vaguely remember them from years ago. I think pre-Gimp 2.8 and they sort of work - I do not have the bespoke brushes to go with them.

bottom line - more information please.

Have you reviewed your "Folders" configuration in GIMP preferences? Your files may not be in the folders GIMP is expecting. You could also customize where GIMP looks for those additional customizations in the folders section.
