Error reading pak file (Error : short read)

On March 30th, 2021 I was playing apex perfectly fine until the shop reset. When the shop reset I would load up my game and it would give me the error message 'Error reading pak file" 

I haven't been able to find/follow the path file. I've tried almost everything except clean booting because I don't trust myself enough to not mess up my PC. 

Full error reads:

"C:\Users\(my user_)\SAVEDG-1\Respawn/Apex/assets/11/store/dl_store_s05_bundle_octanes_arsenal_v2.rpak" --Error:Short read.

Before it said octanes bundle it had something about an EVA-8 shotgun skin.

If someone could just list literally everything I could do even though I've tried most things that would be great.

    @PrincessRyann 

    Delete that file: 

    C:\Users\(my user_)\SAVEDG-1\Respawn/Apex/assets/11/store/dl_store_s05_bundle_octanes_arsenal_v2.rpak

    ...then right click the game in Origin and choose Repair.

    Retry playing when that process completes.

    Thanks.

    I have been unable to find the file, I have gone up and done through the rpak folder multiple times and have searched every key word in the error but cannot find it.
