How to open PURGEABLE file?
An often recurring problem with Time Machine Corrupted Backup is that PURGEABLE is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PURGEABLE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PURGEABLE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Disk Drill
In this case, you should first verify that the Disk Drill application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Disk Drill into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support PURGEABLE files.
Programs to open PURGEABLE file
Remember to download programs supporting PURGEABLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Disk Drill with PURGEABLE files
If, despite the installed application, the PURGEABLE file does not start in the Disk Drill application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PURGEABLE file with the Disk Drill program.
Step 3. Update Disk Drill to the latest version
If, however, after binding Disk Drill with Time Machine Corrupted Backup there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Cleverfiles page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PURGEABLE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PURGEABLE file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PURGEABLE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PURGEABLE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PURGEABLE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PURGEABLE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PURGEABLE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move PURGEABLE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PURGEABLE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
