Dear Tester,
The issue you have mentioned is not a functionality bug, but more of a feature flaw. Initially, we wanted to force deletion on the data file when it is corrupted. However, we also think that sometimes the user may contain important information such as expenses, therefore we wouldn't want to delete the file.
I hope you understand the situation, feel free to reply back if you have any comments

Corruption of saved data
While it is a good step to recognize a save file corruption, the instructions given were to delete the file and relaunch the application.
File corruption cannot be controlled and perhaps a more user-friendly way to handle it is to delete the corrupted data individually rather than prompting the user to do it manually.
In this instance, users who are not very familiar with file directories may not be comfortable deleting the files they are not sure of. Thus, rendering the application unusable.
