You might want to look at what is in the file. Is it really empty.

Another solution might be to have a look at your /tmp directory, where
there might be recent .tex versions of the document, from which reLyX
could make sense. This will only be the case if you did some dvi
preview, of course.

Finally, what are the files available in the directory where your
document was?
