Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking. Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts.
Can I get an explanation of what past?
You must remove the preview Cache.
It is located in the same folder as the catalog in Lightroom. The name of the cache an extract ends with Previews.LRDATA and should be deleted. Not to be confused with *. LRCAT, which should not be deleted.

"Lightroom encountered and error while reading its preview cache and needs to stop smoking.
Earlier today when you import a session the computer froze. After manually shut down and restart I get this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error during playback of sound preview cache and need to stop smoking" and the application does not open. He said LR would try and correct this error the next time I opened it, but the error remains. Help please!
Rename the folder "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata" to "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata.old"
Thank you

Hi crystalc,
It seems that the preview cache has become corrupted.
You must go to the location where your catalog is stored via finder/File Explorer and get rid of the file ending with Previews.lrdata (not .lrcat)
Default location of the catalog is under Pictures\Lightroom

OK, go to the Lightroom folder (in images by default) and delete the folder/file ending with the extension.lrdata. Previews have somehow become corrupt.

LR has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking.
I have the trial version of Lightroom 30 days. I was able to use it for a week, but the last weeks of 1,5 to 2, it was locked up and that gives this error message. How to solve the problem? And how to reset the free 30 day trial? I wish I had the time using the product before deciding on the annual contract.

Thank you.
Delete the cache of the overview of the Lightroom folder in your pictures folder if you used the default location. It has the extension .lrdata.
You cannot reset the trial period.

Sound familiar to anyone?
Hello
Please go to the save location of the Lightroom Catalog and here please delete the Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata folder.
Now please open Lightroom and check if it works.
Please let us know if it helps.
Kind regards

Whenever I try to launch my 6 Lightroom, it says there "has encountered an error in its cache of the preview reading and needs to stop smoking". How can I fix?
Hi aubreyfrances,
Seems that your preview cache has become corrupted.
You must go to the same place where your catalog is stored and get rid of Previews.lrdata (not .lrcat) file
Then, launch Lightroom and check.

Anybody out there can help get LR works again.
Open LR 5 I see message "Lightroom has encountered an error in its cache of the preview reading and needs to stop smoking". I deleted the folder Preview Cache completely (saved). This does not solve the problem. What can I do next to load Lightroom?
If you remove the preview cache folder and the problem persists, then most likely you have found the wrong preview cache (it's for a different catalog previews) and you must find the right cache overview. You should use the search function of your operating system to find all files whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA and remove each of them until you can open your Lightroom Catalog.

LR has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and must be closed.
Win 7 Home premium, LR5 (5.3 I guess)
I just wanted to check before that I tried to solve this problem.
I've been using LR5 since it was released. I think I got in LR to ver 2 (maybe 3) and have updated new versions came out. I have 4 main catalogues, as well as a few more small. The question catalogue is called "2004", currently named 2004-2-2.
Based on what I see in other discussions, the solution is to take the subfolder "2004-2-2 previews.lrdata" out of the 2004 catalog folder then restart LR and build previews again.
(I'll move it to another location on the same drive. Moving, I still for some reason any)
Being a neophyte/luddite, I am very careful... (and want to make sure that I am just before I do)
Phew...
Seems to be OK
Thank you very much
