<p>Hello, when I try to open workbench files the error “The project __ may be corrupted and recovery files are available…” (see attached photo #1) comes up. If I press no the “acces to path ‘session_files’ is denied” (see attached photo #2) error comes up. This error would also come up anytime I would try to save a project. If I press yes it says it failed and another error comes up (attached photo #3). I tried running workbench as administrator and was still unable to open files. Essentially I cannot open a projects I’ve worked on, I can only start a new one. Please help with this error. <\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><span style=”font-size: 14pt;”>The details for the “acces to path ‘session_files’ is denied” are as follows<\/span><\/p><p>System.IO.IOException: Access to the path ‘session_files’ is denied.<br>   at Ansys.Utilities.FuncRetries.Invoke[T1,T2,T3,T4,TResult](Func5 func, T1 arg1, T2 arg2, T3 arg3, T4 arg4, Int32 numberOfRetries)<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;at Ansys.Utilities.FuncRetries.Invoke[T1,T2,T3,T4](Action<\/code>4 action, T1 arg1, T2 arg2, T3 arg3, T4 arg4, Int32 numberOfRetries)<br>   at Ansys.Utilities.FuncRetries.Invoke[T1,T2,T3](Action3 action, T1 arg1, T2 arg2, T3 arg3, Int32 numberOfRetries)<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;at Ansys.Utilities.FuncRetries.Invoke[T1,T2](Action<\/code>2 action, T1 arg1, T2 arg2, Int32 numberOfRetries)<br>   at Ansys.Utilities.FuncRetries.Invoke[T1](Action1 action, T1 arg1, Int32 numberOfRetries)<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;at Ansys.Utilities.FuncRetries.Invoke(Action action, Int32 numberOfRetries)<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;at Ansys.Utilities.FileSystem.RemoveDirectoryRecursive(DirectoryInfo directory, List<\/code>1& failedFiles)<br>   at Ansys.Utilities.FileSystem.RemoveDirectoryRecursive(DirectoryInfo directory, List`1& failedFiles)<br>   at Ansys.Utilities.FileSystem.RemoveDirectoryRecursive(String directoryPath)<br>   at Ansys.Core.Persistence.Commands.OpenCommand.Execute(IFullContext context)<br>   at Ansys.Core.Commands.Concurrency.CommandWorkUnit.executeInContext(CommandContext subContext, IExecutionEngineCallback tracer)<br>   at Ansys.Core.Commands.Concurrency.BaseWorkUnit.doExecute(IExecutionEngineCallback executionEngine, CommandContext subContext)<br>   at Ansys.Core.Commands.Concurrency.BaseWorkUnit.Execute(IExecutionEngineCallback executionEngine, Boolean dontCatchExceptions)<br>— Ansys.Core.Commands.CommandFailedException: Access to the path ‘session_files’ is denied.<br>CommandName: Open(FilePath=”C:\/test\/Lab 1 v2\/Lab 1 v2.wbpj”)<br>   at Ansys.Core.Commands.CommandAsyncResult.RethrowFailureException(Exception e)<br>   at Ansys.Core.Commands.CommandAsyncResult.Wait(Int32 milliSecondsTimeout, Boolean exitContext)<br>   at Ansys.Core.Persistence.Commands.OpenCommand.InvokeAndWait(IProtectedContext context, IProgressMonitor progressMonitor, String FilePath)<br>   at Ansys.UI.Standard.ProjectOperationUtility.ProjectOpen(String filePath, Boolean relaunch)<br>   at Ansys.UI.Standard.AbstractOpenProjectOperation.Invoke(IUserInteractor context)<br>   at Ansys.UI.GuiOperationContext.Invoke(GuiOperationMetaData operationData)<br>   at Ansys.UI.UIManager.InvokeOperationCore(String pseudoname, OperationDelegate callback, Boolean allowOSMessages, Boolean coreTransaction, Boolean deferredRefreshOnly)<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-388394","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["466425","16547","73971","55113","526854","433510"],"_bbp_author_ip":["142.162.252.51"],"_btv_view_count":["8540"],"_bbp_topic_status":["answered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["388394"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27784"],"_bbp_engagement":["16547","73971","466425","55113","526854","433510"],"_bbp_voice_count":["6"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["433029"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["433029"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-05-31 17:26:16"],"_bbp_status":["answered"]},"test":"eramier1unb-ca"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/388394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/388394\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":434029,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/388394\/revisions\/434029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
