No, the .gnucash file is not opeining ok, I got the error when I try to open it.
I am not saving the .gnucash file in the same directory as the .gcm files, but
still I can't manage to open the data file in order to run the "Save As...".
Is it normal to have about 800 files of the type
"accountname.gnucash.20180304110506" and
"accountname.gnucash.20180304110505.gnucash" located in the same folder of the
file "accountname.gnucash"?
Regards,
Osama.

For your information: .gcm files are not backup files. They are only storing
visual state (which tabs were open, column widths, ...).
I do hope you are not saving your gnucash data files in the same directory as
the .gcm files ? If so, on the first occasion you manage to open a data file,
run a "Save As..." and store your data in a more common location, such as (a
subdirectory of) your Documents/My Documents/etc directory. I recommend a
subdirectory as gnucash creates its backup files right next to the data file.
