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 PSEDB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PSEDB 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PSEDB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PSEDB 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 PSEDB files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PSEDB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSEDB 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PSEDB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PSEDB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
