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.

Lightroom keeps crashing upon opening. Here is the message: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quite. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches."

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).

When starting Lirghtroom 5 I get the following error message each time: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches." It never launches.

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.

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.

It isn't a file, it's a folder. It will have the same name as your catalog, but will have the extension data. It will be in the same folder along with your catalog. If you need to use the search feature to search for *.lrdata.

Any suggestions?

Using your system browser (Windows Explorer or Finder), open the folder that contains your catalog. In Windows it is in your pictures folder and then in a Lightroom folder. Inside of the Lightroom folder you will find another folder that has the extension .lrdata. It will have the same name as your catalog except for the extension. You need to delete that folder, and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder, and you should be back in business.

I have restarted lightroom and still get the same result, I have also fully uninstalled lightroom and then re-installed 3 times without success

You do not want to delete your catalog file Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat with extension .lrcat. This will cause you to lose all of your image editing information.
Locate and rename the Previews Cache folder named Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata by adding a .old to the extension (Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata.OLD). Restore the original catalog file from the Recycle or Trash bin if possible. See procedure here:

Go into your operating system and find a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA. Delete this folder. Don't delete anything else, just the folder named as I said.

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.
