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


Running `Preview-LaTeX' on `~/junk/_region_' with ``lualatex  -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error \&prv_test "/AUCTEXINPUT{" _region_.tex "}"''
This is LuaTeX, Version 1.07.0 (TeX Live 2018/Arch Linux) 
 restricted system commands enabled.

Sorry, I can't find the format `prv_test.fmt'; will try `prv_test.fmt'.

LaTeX: LaTeX found no preview images

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.
