When running preview latex the first time on a document, everything is fine. But then when I delete the created folder _region_.prv and the files _region_.log, prv_test.fmt, prv_test.log and _region_.tex, I can not run preview latex (say with C-c C-p C-b) anymore, it gives me the following error

TeX Output exited as expected with code 1 at Mon Jun 3 16:17:28 LaTeX: LaTeX found no preview images Also see https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/50829/preview-latex-doesnt-work-when-i-delete-the-region-prv-folder I want it to be as if I never ran preview latex, so that I can run it again. There must be some entry in some other file that gets created that I have to remove.
