Sometimes virus-infected HAM8 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HAM8 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HAM8 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.

Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HAM8 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
