This problem usually affects 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 you have to wait for the session to the file M64 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the M64 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
