Especially if it's a temporary file that's getting deleted at the end? Why isn't that getting saved on the computer side of things?
that file is a sort of speedup file of what was previously scanned (found)

No need to extract metadata (to find more about the book) if the book file still exists.
This file is updated after every send (and discovery) session
If you delete, it will be recreated (a long scan)

If you believe the file is damaged. Delete it. Just allow time for the scan to complete.
