Corrupted tif file - Nabuko-225 - 09-02-2020
Hi,
While I am sure this must be a common problem, I haven't found any post about it.
It is common knowledge that we should flatten the layers of an image before exporting it, e.g. in .tif.
However, in haste we tend to forget, and the resulting file is corrupted. Not only it can't be opened, but I can't delete it either.
I tried everything suggested on the net related to the deletion of corrupted file, including rebooting in safe mode, but can't do.
Am I stuck with these files forever?
Cheers

There are bug reports about this. Long but worth reading through.

Some success reported by forcing a delete with command prompt:
Code:
del /f fileName.tifSeems you should avoid exporting with layers, flatten the tiff first.
