However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WHDAT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WHDAT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WHDAT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.

This problem usually affects 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
