When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CTD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CTD file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CTD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CTD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CTD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
