indesign file corrupted

[ciarano82819906]

Hi there, 

My indesign file has just corrupted with error code 6 and now It will not open again.

This assignment is due tomorrow and it is 50 hours of work. I have tried deleteing the recovery files in the cache but It hasn't worked. 

Can anyone let me know how to fix it or recover an older version of it

I have uploaded the file to dropbox here

Thank you

Ok, I managed to make the corrupted file open after deleteing the recovery files and then saved it as a Markup document and it has opened to the last saved version so that it good!

Thanks!

Hi Faisal,

what's your operating system?

On Windows 10 the default for the cache files for eg. InDesign 2020 version 15.1.1 is:

USERNAME > AppData > Local > Adobe > InDesign > Version 15.0

Quit InDesign, delete the whole folder and restart InDesign.

When in doubt zip the Version 15.0 folder before you remove it.
