If you get a corrupted file, there really is not anything you can do. Corrupted files are generally caused by somehow forcing a process to stop while it's writing to a file, and that file becomes corrupted. For example, if I am playing a game and I try to save, but then get bored of waiting and turn off the console while it's still saving, the file will become corrupted and unusable.

Don't fall for online scams of tools trying to recover corrupted files, there is really no way to save a file that's been corrupted. You should just delete the file and move on. If it's DLC you can redownload it, if it's a game save you can work your way back.

most of the times computer viruses can cause such problems, try scanning you pc for viruses. if you store you files in bad external memory like,flash drives etc these can also be the problem.
some times these viruses corrupt the programs so if try uninstalling and re installing the programs NB your files saved on your system will not be lost
