There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TOMBSTONE files.

When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TOMBSTONE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TOMBSTONE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TOMBSTONE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TOMBSTONE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
