Question by sfjeffrey · Feb 09, 2015 at 11:40 AM · fatal error

File is encrypted or is not a database Error

I recently upgraded to 4.6.2 and now everytime I try to open unity a progress window opens up saying "compiling scripts" shortly after I get an error window: "Fatal Error! file is encrypted or is not a database"

I also just uninstalled unity and reinstalled it. Same thing. In truth I did just tangle with the CryptoWall virus which did in fact encrypt random files on my computer, but the error is not helpful in identifying what file is the issue, and the project it's trying to load did not seem to get hit by the virus. What file is causing this problem and how could I go about replacing or fixing it?

Check the editor log.

Ok I checked the log and it looks like some of my standard assets go encyprted. No problem I just deleted them and I'll reimport them when Unity opens again. So I open it again and I get the same error, only this time there's no file path indicating what's causing the problem.

Validating Project structure ... 0.012426 seconds. Refresh: detecting if any assets need to be imported or removed ...
Refresh: elapses 0.100707 seconds Refresh: trashing asset d84268709d11078d11005b9844295342 file is encrypted or is not a database

So there's a hexcode for an asset but I don't know which it is.

Deleting the library folder worked for me.
