Hey there! I agree with @hmaddy , moving aside the /var/lib/mysql/arcrockery_wp681/ahc_settings.ibd file may allow you to work around the error, but I would recommend ensuring you have full MySQL database backups before performing any changes. If the issue still persists, you may need to perform InnoDB corruption repair. We have written the following article to guide you through the process that I'll include below:
