Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LRDATA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The LRDATA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LRDATA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LRDATA file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LRDATA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LRDATA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LRDATA files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LRDATA files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the LRDATA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LRDATA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LRDATA file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
