File Corrupted, Can't Open
I've been working on a score, and when I tried to open it today it gave me the error message, "this file contains errors that could cause MuseScore to malfunction." I tried opening it anyway, and it doesn't work. I've tried unzipping the file and the backup, but 7-zip is unable to unzip it. I've also tried renaming it to a .zip before unzipping but the .zip was corrupted, and I couldn't fix it with other software. I don't know what to do and don't want to lose my work. The original file and backup (as a .zip) are attached. Thanks.

The file just consists of zeros. Opened with a hex editor - NNM - on my android tablet.

The .zip file is the backup. The original backup can't be attached, so I renamed a copy to a zip file. I'll attach the backup renamed to not have the tilde at the end of the file name. Opening this file in notepad (which I'm guessing is not the software you're using, but still something) I can see a bunch of random characters so I don't think it's empty.

Looks like onedrive file. I'm not sure if it contains any useful data. Maybe you have onedrive copy in cloud?

All the files I have are on my computer. I wasn't logged in when i was making the score. I uploaded another file I have.
