The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TCGB files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the TCGB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TCGB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TCGB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
