Condensing QuickBooks Company File

I've been trying to condense our company file for a couple of days.  The goal is to get rid of all transactions before 1/1/2019.  I can successfully run a condense on transactions before 1/1/2018, but when I run 1/1/2019, once it almost finishes, I get this message:  "QuickBooks found some problems with your company file, but don't worry!  You can fix most issues by rebuilding your company file." - But I ran Verify then Rebuild and Verify again before I ran condense and no errors were found.  If I run Verify and Rebuild after this message, it clears the error, but it still doesn't condense.  In the log files (QBWin) I found this: ": Unable to read company file attributes - owner id =xxxx} - i saw this message in the error list before.

Any suggestions on what i can do to get QuckBooks get rid of transactions i dpn't need any more?
