"lightroom encountered an erorr when reading from it's preview cache and needs to close"
I can't get rid of this error message. I have moved/deleted the preview cache..did not help. I then deleted all the other files in the "Lightroom" folder...doesn't help. Please help!! thank you in advance
Thanks everyone. Just for future people who may read this... Turns out..LR had created another catalog on my C:/ drive that I didn't know about. (My main catalog is located on a separate drive.) So, when I was doing all of these steps to my main catalog, it didn't work. Problem was on the C:/ drive. I still wasted a ton of time talking to support and the person was not knowledgeable. He/She kept telling me that my catlog was corrupted even though the error message clearly stated it was the preview cache. All of these software companies need to a) bring their support desks back into this country, b) train the people to actually know the product inside and out. I've had to contact 3 different companies for support over the past few weeks and all of them gave me useless generic answers that you can find on their websites. Frustrating. Sorry for the rant and thanks again everyone.

I'm unable to open up Lightroom 5, I get this message in a pop up box: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from it's preview cache and needs to quit" Underneath that is "Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time when it launches." It hasn't, what should I do? Thanks Shawn (Irish Se7en) .

When I go to open lightroom a message pops up and says "lightroom encountered an error when reading from it's preview cache and needs to quit" I have already restarted my computer, that didn't do anything. I then uninstalled and then reinstalled and still getting the same response.
Open the folder containing your Lightroom catalog. Locate a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. Do not delete anything else. Then restart Lightroom. It will start building a new previews folder.

I recently updated my HP laptop's OS from WIndows8 to WIndows8.1. When I went attempted to open Lightroom5 I got the following message:
"Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. "
"Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches"
Every time I relaunch I get the same message. I'd like to understand what might be causing the problem so I can remedy and get back to my photo editing. Any clue as to how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

You don't delete a file, you have to delete a folder. Is that what you did?
If you deleted the folder specified above, and you still get the message, then it's the wrong folder. Use your operating system's search function and find ALL folders on ALL disks whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA, delete each one found, and then try opening Lightroom. -
how do i fix this. It says Lightroom encountered an error when reading from a previous cache and needs to quit. Light room will attempt to to fix the problem the next time it launches.
Have a look at this thread.

When opening the program LR 5 encounters an error when reading from it's preview cache.
When opening the program LR 5 encounters an error when reading from it's preview cache. It says it will correct the problem when it re opens. Why does this happen and how do I correct it?
It means there is an issue with the preview cache.
If it persists after closing and re-opening Lightroom then you will need to delete the preview folder.
There is no permanent harm and Lightroom will regenerate the previews on an asneeded basis or the whole image collection if you ask it.
The previews folder exists in the Lightroom folder and has the name "Your catalog name PREVIEW.LRDATA".
Make sure it is the the correct folder before deleting it.

I have deleted the LRdata file (I had two!!!) as suggested on this site. Still crashing!
I had the same problem after my computer crashed (maybe due to lightroom, but I'm not sure). The only solution I found was to delete previews.db and root-pixels files. They are located in the Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata subfolder of your catalog (it depends on its name). It's not very damageable, since you keep all the previews previously generated (located in every subfolders).

HELP!!!!!!!
Using Explorer/Finder, locate your Lightroom catalog folder....inside that you will find a file called "yourcatalogname Previews.LRDATA", delete it (taking very great care that you do NOT delete the file ending in LRCAT) and restart Lightroom.

Title says it all. Lightroom shuts down because it can't read from its preview cache.
Have a look at this thread the solution is there.
I get an error message when I open Lightroom -
I launch and relaunch and the same message appears over and over.
Should I uninstall and then re-install Lightroom? Would this fix the problem?Thanks Jim.
I will give it a try.
My "Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata" folder is 12.3 GB in size, so the rebuild will take lots of time...right?
I'll let you know how it goes.
Ciao.

Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.
There are dozens of threads in this forum that describe the fix
