The LHARC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LHARC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LHARC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LHARC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.

There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LHARC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ivan Zahariev
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LHARC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LHARC file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LHARC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
