What is a .CM0013 file?
A .CM0013 file is a type of data file specifically used by certain Samsung Smart TVs. This file is automatically created when you connect an external storage device, like a hard disk drive (HDD) or a USB flash drive, to the TV. The purpose of the .CM0013 file is to keep a record or index of all the multimedia files (such as videos, photos, and music) that are stored on the connected device. This indexing helps the Smart TV quickly locate and play these files for you.
When it comes to opening a .CM0013 file, you can use any basic text editor like Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac. However, the content of this file might not be very useful to read because it's primarily meant for use by the TV's software.
It's important to note that you will typically see the .CM0013 file only in specific scenarios, such as when you are using an external storage device with your Samsung Smart TV to play media files. If you disconnect the storage device from the TV and later connect it to a computer, you might notice that your original files seem hidden or locked, and the .CM0013 file is the only visible file. This doesn't mean your files are gone. If you delete the .CM0013 file and then reconnect the storage device back to the Smart TV, your multimedia files should become visible again on the TV.
Remember, the .CM0013 file is not harmful or malicious; it's simply a system file used by your Samsung Smart TV to manage and access media files efficiently on connected external storage devices.
