What version of Mint?

Try removing the thumbnail cache entirely (rm -rf ~/.cache/thumbnails)

I've seen this problem very occasionally - a message appears inviting you to fix the cache by entering your password (presumably to gain root authority via sudo). A single password entry has always been sufficient for me in LMDE3/4. Whatever the fix is, it takes instant effect and there is no apparent effect by ignoring the warning message. I have never seen this message as a non-sudo capable user.
