Hello Im running MacOS Catalina 10.15.6 and my intelliJ is up to date. I try changing the max of the heap because it was running out and now it won't open. Anything would help!

Hello sorry for the late reply. I remove the idea.vmoptions and nothing happened. I also try to open it through the terminal and nothing.

There is invalid option in VM options, see the error: 

Invalid ReservedCodeCacheSize=10000M. Must be at most 2048M.

So, please remove this option from /Users/ernestodiaz/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIDEA2020.1/idea.vmoptions

Please show the terminal's output when starting IntelliJ IDEA (the same as in the previous message).

here it is. I used this two 

export IDEA_LAUNCHER_DEBUG=true 
cd /Applications
./IntelliJ\ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/idea

The error is the same. 

Could you open /Users/ernestodiaz/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIDEA2020.1/idea.vmoptions and check if "ReservedCodeCacheSize" is set here?
