Q: .fcpbundle forces a crash when opened

I operate off multiple drives and regularly open a preexisting FCPX libraries that were not already loaded into the libraries panel.  Today, I am trying to open a .fcpbundle file and as soon as final cut opens it immediately crashes.  Can not open this bundle.  It still has content in the bundle but I can't execute the file to see my edits, etc...  I have tried to delete the .flexolibrary file like I read in another thread but have not had any luck with that.

 

Can anyone help me open this file?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

    HHold Opt-Cmd to reset the application as it launches. Try to open the library from inside the application. If that doesn't work, try opening a backup from inside the application.

    Try Tom's advice first because his is better. Crashing libraries for me often point to defective media. I have no way of knowing if that's the case with your library. IN the Finder, Show Contents to display the bundle folder structure. Look for Original Media folders and see if there's anything in any of them that strikes you as odd.
