However, remember that not every infected LX01 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.

This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LX01 file again. However, some background programs may block the LX01 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
