I received an error from my VMware Workstation 16 player (non-commercial) stating "Error while opening the Virtual Machine: VMX file is corrupt."
I have 2 VM, but none work, so I can easily guess the problem is with the VMware itself. The last thing I done that may trigger this error was trying to cut & paste the "Virtual Machines folder" in my "Documents" into a different location, because my documents was trying to sync with my onedrive, and the VM folder was too large. Hence, I also saw this error while trying that action, "Error 0x8007016A", but this is an error from onedrive, so the "VM folder" is still stuck in my "Documents".
So, my 2 problems today are:
1) How to fix the "VMX file is corrupt" without deleting my 2 VM?
2) How do I move/transfer my "VM folder" located in my documents to another location, without causing this error in the future?
