(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I don't understand the intention behind it: If you start preview with
'C-c C-p C-b', you're fine, but why do delete the files above
unconditionally?  Remove them after your session, or use 'C-c C-p C-c
C-b' to delete them.

Best, Arash

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

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.
