File repair refers to the process of fixing corrupted or damaged files so that they can be accessed and used again. This can involve using specialized software tools designed to identify and correct errors in various file formats, such as documents, images, or databases. Common causes of file corruption include unexpected shutdowns, software crashes, or hardware failures. When a file is repaired, the software attempts to restore its original structure and content. In some cases, it may recover only part of the file, depending on the extent of the damage. Users often rely on file repair tools to salvage important data and maintain productivity in their work with digital files.
