Bad message error in files app.

[KarlLuvsStuff]

Hello

 

I am trying to open/uncompress a zip file on my iPad (iPadOS 18.3.2) and I'm getting this "Bad Message" error. File itself is slightly less than 5GB. Anyone know a fix? (Tried to restart and to force restart iPad, open close files app cuz ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

 

Thanks!

Is the file a video?

 

Could try using ZipRepair.net or EaseUs Online website to try and repair it.
