I think both times it happened, I was adding created objects or cad details I had modified back to the library as the same name. For instance this last time I modified a footing detail I have and added it back to the library. I got a warning about the block having the same name. (See attached) I think I selected yes to replace the items. I had two different blocks with the same name. The new one was fine but the old one, I couldn't move, delete, rename, or export without getting an error message. I tried to duplicate what I thought was the problem this morning, but didn't get the same result.

I was able to export all but the one sub folder that had the corrupted item in it. There were less than ten objects in it, so I didn't lose that much. I will definitely make a habit of backing it up from now on. Thanks for the input everyone.

I tried to export all but that file, but it crashes the program. I had customer support fix it for me last time, but I had to rename and delete the entire library and import their library they had with the corrupted file removed. They were able to keep all my other items, but it just seems like there should be a way to find the file myself in windows file explorer to remove just that item.

Is there any way to access individual user created library items outside of chief to delete corrupted files? I have a detail I added to the library, but I changed some things and added it back to the library with the same name. The new one is good but the old one, every time I click on it, I get an error message. I can't delete it inside chief so I was hoping I could delete it some other way. Any help would be appreciated.
