SharePoint Designer Open Site Error

Question

I am trying to open a company SharePoint site in SharePoint Designer, I get the following error.....

"Microsoft SharePoint Designer does not support editing non-Sharepoint sites."

This is most definitely a Sharepoint site that I created and am the owner of but this is on a work site.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Thank you

1. Exit and then restart SharePoint Designer.
2. Clear SharePoint designer cache: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/sagarp/how-to-clear-your-sharepoint-designer-20102013-cache/
