Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the THUMBDATA5 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the THUMBDATA5 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected THUMBDATA5 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the THUMBDATA5 files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair THUMBDATA5 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Google Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file THUMBDATA5 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. If possible, you can try to move the THUMBDATA5 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
