Delete preview cache - that should solve the problem.
It's the .lrdata folder in with your catalog, named something like "My Catalog Previews.lrdata".
Delete entire .lrdata folder, making sure you get the one in the same folder as the catalog you're opening. Do not delete anything else, and if you have something like "My Catalog Smart Previews.lrdata" - that's not it.

When Lr comes up, consider initiating whole-catalog building of standard previews (Library -> Previews menu), lest you be "forever" greeted by temporarily gray thumbnails and "loupe loading" indicator in the future..

Here is your fix: Lightroom says my preview cache is corrupted—how do I fix it? - The Lightroom Queen

I have the following problem: Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempts to fix the problem the next time it launches.

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.

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. "

Delete the preview cache using your operating system. It is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA. Do not delete the Lightroom catalog, which ends with .LRCAT

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 encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it lauches". What do I do? I get the msg each time I try to open it.

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.

Hi All

Many thanks for your help, at lease the LR is working now. How do I rebuild previews and smart previews or will this happen automatically?
Many thanks

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.

Open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata, and you need to delete that folder. After you do that, Lightroom should start normally and will create a new preview cache.

LRCC Error: Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit.

I just upgraded from LR 5.7.1 to LRCC a couple of days ago. After working with a collection of images in Lightroom CC, this message popped up: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit." What do I need to do to remedy this? Thanks!

Quit Lightroom
Then trash the preview cache. It’s in the main catalog folder.
Delete the folder with the ending Previews.lrdata
The default location for the Lightroom folder is normally Pictures/My Pictures if you did a standard installation.
Re-launch Lightroom after deleting the Previews folder.
N.B. do not touch files ending .lrcat

Can some one please help me with this error message I keep getting. I was told to uninstall LR and reinstall it and I am still getting the same error message. "light room encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit"..

Go to the folder containing your catalog, and delete the folder that ends in .lrdata. Then start Lightroom, and it will create a new preview file, and you should be good to go.
