When my son goes to open the game it gives us this error:
Error Unable to delete corrupted file. Pasted the more details below along with screenshots underneath. He had just recently bought the game on this computer and was playing it fine and then accidentally deleted a couple worlds he didn't mean to and his mom and brother tried to see if they could find/fix them unsuccessfully. Then the game wouldn't work and we've tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times but get this error every time now and are lost as to what to do.
Unable to delete a corrupt file.

You appear to have some broken permission on your install folder. It is likely they messed some permissions up when they were trying to restore worlds, and the launcher no longer has access to write the files it needs to. Please try deleting the following folder from the computer:
C:\Users\STEVE\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\assets
then try running the launcher again.
Hi!
(Before reading please note I am not a mojang employee, I just happen to have messed with a lot of minecraft files so please proceed with caution! haha)I also had a very similar issue, which gave the same error message and it ended up being an issue about my storage being full. I have also seen some comments on other sites about an internet server being down, but I don't imagine that is it. If you are wondering, all saves are in the save folder in the .minecraft folder. This can be accessed by pressing Windows Key+R, and typing %appdata%. Hit enter and you should see your .minecraft folder, hopefully the saves should be in the save folder! If not, maybe check recycling bin. As for fixing your issue, try to navigate to the file that has the issue (C:\Users\STEVE\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\assets\indexes\1.14.json). From here, I would just hit Ctrl+F on the notepad document and search for " 5266701e794a3cfb26c8052800c1bca81ef0ab5c" then just replace it with "c3f2bebb4a5fd3f2f3ee0783efa46bf23089c218" (MAKE SURE TO SAVE THE ORIGINAL FILE JUST INCASE 🙂 ). The beginning of my 1.14.json file looks like this:
{"objects": {"icons/icon_16x16.png": {"hash": " etc.
I would also ask your son if he did edit files, because if so, for sure try the above method. If not, and the above method doesn't work either, I would copy the .minecraft save folder and place it somewhere else, such as the desktop, and then completely delete the .minecraft folder and then re-install it. Also, mods are a great way to have fun if your son gets bored with normal minecraft! It could be a great project to do with him and it can be quite easy (Try looking up "Feed the Beast" if interested)
